Osimhen has scored 32 Serie A goals in 60 appearances.

The hosts had the first chance on three minutes when another Nigerian striker in action, Ademola Lookman rolled across from the left for Rasmus Hojlund, forcing a save one-on-one from Alex Meret.

The corner kick from that smart move wreaked havoc as Osimhen handled the ball with his hands before Hojland and Merih Demiral attempts were charged down.However, Osimhen quickly made up for his mistake by scoring an equaliser for Napoli as he was allowed a free header on a Piotr Zielinski floated cross from a short corner.

Napoli turned it around completely when Osimhen broke away from Merih Demiral down the right and pulled back for Eljif Elmas to take a touch and score from 10 yards. There were decent chances by both teams but the game was settled with the 2-1 scoreline in favour of Napoli, who now have 35 points from 13 matches.

No Nigerian Should Complain Of Hunger Because We Have Farmlands, Rain From God – Buhari | Sahara ReportersPresident Muhammadu Buhari has told Nigerians to be willing to farm what they would eat or starve to death, stating that no one has the right to complain of hunger in Nigeria. Buhari stated this on Wednesday in an interview with Tambarin Hausa TV, a Kano State-based media, that despite the floods that had devastated farming communities, Nigeria could still feed itself. He added that one of the policies he undertook upon assuming office in 2015 was to block the Nigerian borders from food importation and force people back to farm.
