On a bleak weekend for Nigerian strikers in Europe, Victor Osimhen continued his impressive scoring run with Napoli in Serie A, grabbing his 111th career goal, just as Raphael Onyedika scored twice and Stephen Odey ended his 10-game goal drought.
Despite Napoli’s struggle this season, Osimhen remains a shining light for the Azzurri, as he scored his 12th league goal of the season in their comeback 4-2 win at Monza.
After going down by a goal early in the first half, the Nigerian levelled matters 10 minutes into the second half, and that spurred a ruthless resurgence with more goals from Matteo Politano, Piotr Zieliński, and Giacomo Raspadori.
Osimhen rose high to head home Frank Anguissa’s cross and didn’t mind injuring his nose during the bad fall. The equaliser was his 111th club career goal as he prepares for another adventure at another club next season.
