Simy double helps Crotone end Serie A winless streak

Simy Nwankwo scored a brace and Algeria international Adam Ounas sealed Crotone's 4-2 victory over Torino in a Serie A fixture on Sunday.

The triumph at the Stadio Ezio Scida was Crotone's first win since January 17 - when they beat Benevento - and it ended a run of seven consecutive defeats in the Italian top-flight.

Simy opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 25th minute, but his effort was cancelled out by Rolando Mandragora's equaliser on the stroke of half-time.
