Simy Nwankwo scored twice in Crotone’s 3-4 defeat to Napoli in Serie A on Saturday.
The Nigerian thus continues his fearsome record in the competition as he has now netted 15 league goals for The Shark of Calabria this season.
His first on 25 minutes was off an intelligent assist from Ahmed Benali.
The 28-year-old then completed his brace three minutes after the restart with Junior Messias the provider.
Simy’s return has been extremely impressive this season as only three individuals, Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku and Luis Muriel have scored more goals than the Nigerian in the race for the capocannoniere (top scorers award).
Meanwhile, another Nigerian, Victor Osimhen also scored in the exciting seven goal thriller decided at the Diego Maradona Stadium.
Osimhen netted on 22 minutes to put Napoli 2-0 up before the visitors attempted to launch a stirring comeback.
The 22-year-old Osimhen has now netted four goals this season.
