Victor Osimhen was the difference on Saturday Afternoon at the Diego Maradona Stadium as he helped Napoli who came from behind to overcome stubborn Udinese 2-1 in their Italian serie A clash on Saturday Afternoon, Owosports.com.ng reports.
Osimhen’s heroics pulled Luciano Spalletti’s side out of a tricky scary situation after Gerard Deulofeu had put the Bianconeri ahead early in the 22nd minutes before the lanky striker savaged the situation with a perfectly executed brace.
He got his first and Napoli’s equalizer on the 51 minutes on the clock as he headed home from a Mario Rui set piece, besting his marker Destiny Udogie on the occasion.
The Partenopei went into the lead with their talisman Osimhen, who found himself in the right place to receive the ball from Giovanni Di Lorenzo and put it past Silvestri with a natural-born striker touch.
The big Nigerian was on fire perhaps too much as he netted what looked like a hattrick which was ruled offside.
Victor Osimhen eventually earned himself a yellow card that will force him to miss Napoli’s next game.
The former Lille striker has now scored 11 league goals this season also became the first Nigerian to hit double figures in two different seasons in Italian Serie A. He now has a total 15 goals in all competition this season
