The Nigerian’s effort against the Sorcerers saw him match an undesirable feat in the Italian elite division history
Simeon Nwankwo becomes the fourth player in Serie A history to score at least 20 goals for a relegated side in a single season.
The Nigeria international achieved this feat having found the net as 10-man Crotone played a 1-1 draw with Benevento at the Stadio Ciro Vigorito.
Gianluca Lapadula had put the hosts ahead in the 13th minute, albeit, the lanky strike ensured Serse Cosmi’s side settle for a point.
