Udogie, who has his heart set on playing for Italy, opened the scoring, assisted by his compatriot, Success, who netted the second goal to give their club a 2-1 lead.

However, they were eventually denied a win and three points by Bologna substitute Nicola Sansone in the entertaining 2-2 draw. 

That performance from former Watford man, Success, saw him take his goal contributions to three (one goal and two assists) in the last two matches for Udinese.

Success, 26, seems to finally be enjoying his football again after finding his form again. 

He has assisted seven and scored two goals in just nine starts, while Udogie has three goals and one assist in 30 games for Udinese in the Serie A.
