February 18, (THEWILL) – Napoli’s Victor Osimhen proved yet again that he is a force to be reckoned with and a pacesetter as he helped his team secure a victory against Sassuolo in a Serie A match.
Osimhen scored Napoli’s second goal of the game, just minutes after his teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, scored the first goal with an incredible individual effort.
Osimhen’s goal was just as impressive, as he made a run between two centre-backs and held the ball away from them to create space for his shot. Despite being in a tight angle, Osimhen attempted the shot and successfully found the back of the net.
This goal made history for Napoli, as Osimhen became the first player in the club’s history to score in seven consecutive games, surpassing the record of club icon, Gonzalo Higuain. The Nigerian international’s impressive performance highlights his continued growth as a player and a key member of Luciano Spalletti’s team.
His ability to consistently find the back of the net has not only helped his team secure important victories but has also now cemented his place in the record books of the storied club.
