    PORTUGAL defender Pepe became the oldest goalscorer in Champions League history as his late header helped Porto beat Royal Antwerp in Group H.

    Pepe, 40 years and 254 days old, scored his side’s second with a thumping 91st-minute finish, becoming the first player over 40 to score in European football’s showpiece competition.

    Francesco Totti had held the oldest scorer record at 38 years and 59 days.
