Osimhen equals Serie A record in 2-0 Napoli win over Sampdoria

Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen was on form as Napoli bounced from their first loss of the season to record a routine 2-0 win over relegation strugglers Sampdoria.

Napoli’s Matteo Politano missed an opportunity to put the Partenopei ahead when he missed a 6th-minute penalty. But the in-form Osimhen put his Naples side 1-0 up in the 19th minute with a right-footed shot from the center of the box to the top left corner, his 10th Serie A goal of the season.

According to Stats handle @OptaPaolo, Osimhen becomes just the second African footballer to score at least 10 goals in three different seasons in the Serie A, after Gorge Weah in the mid-1990s

The center-forward has also racked up three assists in the season and has not been held back by injuries, something which was an issue for him in the last two campaigns. Everything suggests that things are looking very bright for the ex-Lille man.
