Osimhen breaks Serie A scoring record as Napoli pip Atalanta to maintain unbeaten record
Victor Osimhen

On Saturday night, two Super Eagles players scored as Napoli overcame Ademola Lookman's Atalanta 2-1 to increase their lead atop the Italian Serie A standings.

Since the start of the season, both players have been crucial contributors to their sides, Napoli and Atalanta, which currently hold the first two spots in the league rankings.

In the 19th minute, Lookman gave Atalanta the lead with a penalty shot when fellow countryman Osimhen's hand interfered with a home team corner kick. Alex Meret, the goalie, had little chance against the 25-year-old.

Barely four minutes later, Osimhen jumped high and nodded a wonderful header into the back of the net to equalise for Napoli before he assisted Elif Elmas to seal a first-half victory for the visitors.

There was no moment of high significance in the second half of the encounter as it ended goalless, with Azzurri picking up the maximum three points to end their lead on the table to eight points.

Napoli is yet to lose in any of their 13 league matches this season.

The goal is Osimhen’s eighth goal in nine league matches, taking him to the top of the Serie A scoring chart, while Lookman’s goal is his seventh in the league.

Osimhen has now become the highest-scoring Nigerian player in Serie A history with 32 goals so far, surpassing the 31 goals scored by Simeon Nwankwo.
