Nigerian international striker Victor Osimhen made history on Sunday after scoring two goals in Napoli’s 3-0 win against Spezia. The 24-year-old’s impressive performance has seen him increase his goal haul to 16 from 17 league appearances this season, making him the fourth Napoli player to achieve this feat in the first 21 Serie A games of the season.
Osimhen joins the ranks of Luis Vinicio in 1955-56, Edinson Cavani in 2012-13, and Gonzalo Higuain in 2015-16 as the only Napoli players to reach this impressive milestone. The forward told Sky Sports Italia, “I’m happy with the win and to be in the history books of Napoli is a great privilege for me.”
Napoli’s victory puts them on track to win their first Scudetto in 33 years and they currently enjoy a 13-point lead at the top of the standings. Osimhen’s contributions to the team have been instrumental in their success and his performance on Sunday only solidifies his place in Napoli’s history.
