Hertha Berlin striker Salomon Kalou scored the club's third in a frantic 3-3 draw with Werder Bremen on Saturday, earning him the prestige of becoming the first player to score at least ten goals in the German, English, and French top flights.

Kalou, 30, scored his tenth on the season for Hertha today to go along with his 16-goal campaign for Lille in 2013-14 and the ten he scored for Chelsea in 2010-11.

The honour will be small consolation for Kalou on Saturday, though - his 71st-minute goal gave the visitors a 3-1 lead, only to be outdone by ageless wonder Claudio Pizarro's three-minute brace, which levelled the score at 3-3.
