JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Charles Pickel - Disqualifed for inter clash Pickel won one of three tackles, had one clearance, and was booked for the fifth time in Monday's 1-1 draw with Bologna.

David Okereke - Scores penalty at Bologna Okereke scored one goal on two shots on target in Monday's 1-1 draw at Bologna.

Impact Okereke got back on the scoresheet Monday as he slotted home a penalty past Lukasz Skorpuski in the 50th minute to give Cremonese a brief lead. It was one of his only two shots in the game, but he made the most of it with his fourth Serie A goal this season, which leads the team. Okereke had scored just one goal in his previous 14 matches, so it's a good sign to see him finding the back of the net again.
