Only six players in the Italian top division now have more goals than the Nigerian international

Simy Nwankwo found his range from the penalty spot, his 13th league goal of the campaign, to hand Crotone a two-goal lead over Bologna at the Estadio Ezio Scida on Saturday afternoon.

The latest goal sees Simy climb up to joint-sixth on the Serie A goalscorer chart.

Only Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo (23 goals), Inter Milan’s Romelu Lukaku (19 goals), Atalanta’s Muriel (16 goals), AC Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic (14 goals), Lazio’s Ciro Immobile (14 goals), and Inter’s Lautaro Martinez (14 goals) have found the back of the net more times than the Super Eagles star.
