Maduka Okoye was in brilliant form as he helped Udinese to a shock 1-0 win away to Serie A title hopeful Juventus on Monday night.
Udinese went into the game on the back of five games without a win (three defeats, two draws).
The 24-year-old made a series of great saves, including keeping out Arkadiusz Milik’s close-range header to keep his team in the game.
It is Udinese’s first win away to Juventus since 23, August 2015, with Okoye in goal to help end the long wait.
The Nigeria international was in superb form as he made six saves and had two clearances in his seventh league appearance this season.
Credit has to go to Okoye, who showed bravery between the sticks in hostile territory.
The Nigerian also exhibited good reading of the game and was not caught out at any point by the Old Lady’s long-range strikes or devilish free kicks into his penalty area.
