Maduka Okoye has been named in the Serie A Team of the Week following a standout display in Udinese’s impressive 3-0 victory over AC Milan, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Nigerian goalkeeper produced a series of crucial saves at the San Siro, denying efforts from Luka Modri?, Alexis Saelemaekers, and Youssouf Fofana to secure a memorable win for his side.
Okoye’s performance also saw him register his third consecutive clean sheet, the first time he has achieved the feat in his professional career.
It marks the second time this season that the shot-stopper has been included in the Serie A Team of the Week, underlining his growing importance to Udinese.
His teammate Jürgen Ekkelenkamp also earned a place in the weekly selection following his contribution to the victory.
Udinese will look to build on their momentum when they host Parma at the Bluenergy Stadium in their next league fixture.
