Simeon Nwankwo continued his rich vein of form in front of goal when he smashed home his 16th goal in the Italian Serie A.
Simy Nwankwo has now scored 17 league goals for Crotone this season.
He equals Yakubu Aiyegbeni's record of the most goals scored by an Nigerian in a single season of a top-five European league this century.

It was his seventh penalty goal of the season.
However, Crotone again lost 2-1 and they remain rooted to the basement of the Italian top flight with a mere 15 points from 31 matches.
A quick return to the Italian lower league looks likely for them after another round of matches.
