JEREMIE BOGA (Sassuolo)

Ivorian midfielder Boga’s handball threw rivals Roma a lifeline with Jordan Veretout converting the penalty from the spot. But Boga immediately hit back to make amends, cutting inside to rifle in a superb fourth goal for a 4-2 win, his side’s first ever in the top flight over the capital side. It was the 23-year-old former Chelsea player’s sixth league goal this season for Sassuolo, twice his tally for the 2018-2019 campaign.
