Crotone striker Simeon Nwankwo is fast closing in on Yakubu Ayegbeni’s European league mark with his recent effort against Spezia.
The towering striker was on target on Saturday, albeit, the Pythagoreans were subdued 3-2 by the Little Eagle in an Italian elite division outing.
With the scores tied at 1-1 at the Stadio Alberto Picco, Nwankwo put his team ahead with a 78th-minute strike thanks to Niccolo Zanellato’s assist. Even at that, they forfeited all three points as late goals from Giulio Maggiore and Martin Erlic handed Vincenzo Italiano’s side victory.
