Okereke was on hand to score a beautiful header in the 19th minutes following a cross by Ghiglione to restore parity for team.

It was a debut goal for the former Venezia player in this year's campaign of the Italian league season playing alongside compatriot, Cyril Dessers.

At 2-2, Dessers could have put his side in the lead but slightly over-hit the lob with Gollini off his line.

Unfortunately, the two Nigerians were on the losing end as goalkeeper Radu who had been the hero of the day became the Villain.

His howler in the 95th minutes of the game resulted in an own goal which denied 10-man Cremonese a point.

Bianchetti's 68th minutes goal had cancelled Florentina's lead after Luka Jovic's 38th minutes goal.
