By James Agberebi:
Nigerian striker Orji Okonkwo was on target for 10-man Bologna in their 3-0 home win against Sampdoria in the Italian Serie A on Saturday.
It was back-to-back goals for Okonkwo, 19, who also scored in Bologna’s 3-2 away win against Hellas Verona just last Monday.
Okonkwo was brought on in the 69th minute and scored in the 73rd minute to make it 3-0 to Bologna.
Simon Verdi had given Bologna a 1-0 lead in the third minute before Ibrahim Mbaye made it 2-0 in the 23rd minute.
Bologna were however reduced to 10 men following Vasilious Torosidis’ sending off on the stroke of halftime.
He has now scored three Serie A goals after six games this season for Bologna.
The win took Bologna to seventh on 20 points in the league table.

Nice one but you’re not 19 but 35, you claim to be a teenager but in few years time @24-25 when you ought to be at your prime you’re already 40-41 real age, and can’t perform again, next thing nobody will hear about him because he’s old
