Richmond Boakye-Yiadom celebrating his goal for Sassuolo

Ghana striker Richmond Boakye Yiadom scored a brace on Saturday to give Italian Serie B leaders Sassuolo a 2-1 win at Grosseto.

Boakye opened the scoring in the 38th minute when his powerful shot from inside the box took a deflection when beating the goalkeeper.

The on-loan Juventus player rose above his marker to head down a cross to double the lead ten minutes after the break.

But Grosseto reduced the deficit through Lanzafame on 83 minutes.

The 18-year-old was replaced by Pavoletti after 78 minutes.
