Nwakwo's Crotone escapes relegation

Though an unused substitute against Lazio, the
Nigerian’s club ensured they missed demotion
to Serie B on Sunday
Simmy Nwankwo's Crotone miraculously escaped the
drop from the Italian topflight after defeating Lazio 3-1
at Stadio Ezio Scida.
Andrea Nalini’s brace inspired Davide Nicola’s men to
victory to remain afloat after Empoli suffered a 2-1
defeat at Palermo.
The Pythagoreans appear destined for relegation at the
beginning of April no thanks to their appalling run that
saw them lose seven of eight matches.
But a change in fortune saw them step up their game –
losing once in nine games, and finished 17th with 34
points from 38 matches.
25-year-old Simmy played a crucial role in this survival,
netting thrice in 25 games for the Calabrese outfit.
