Napoli picked up a 2-0 win over relegation strugglers Sampdoria on Sunday to maintain a hold over the top of the Serie A table.
Tomas Rincon’s first half sending did help the Partenopei but Victor Osimhen had opened the scoring for his side before the South American’s early bath. Eljif Elmas made it 2-0 from the spot in the second half after Ronaldo Vieira had handled the ball.
It was another impressive performance from Osimhen, who now has ten Serie A goals in his bag so far. OptaPaolo have stated that the Nigerian is only the second African player in Serie A history to have scored ten or more goals in three different league campaigns in the Italian top flight. George Weah last did it with Milan back in the mid-1990s.
