Osimhen takes goal tally to 13 in Napoli's win over Salernitana

Published on: 22 January 2023

Nigeria forward, Victor Osimhen keeps up his good form this season to score in Napoli's win over Salernitana on Saturday in the Italian Serie A.

The Super Eagles player notched his 13th goal of the season to aid the league leaders to a 2-0 win at the Stadio Arechi.

After Di Lorenzo's first half stoppage time goal, Osimhen scored Napoli's second following a shot after Eljif Elmas right-foot strike from outside the box bounced off the far post, into his path to score in the 48th minute.

Osimhen who has now scored four goals in five matches is now just a goal away from equaling his highest scoring season in the Serie A of 14 which he scored last season.

He is also aiming to become the first African player to win Serie A's top scorer award in its 125-year history after scoring 13 goals and 3 assists in 15 matches.
