  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The Nigerian striker opened the scoring for Napoli in the 69th minute, but Leonardo Pavoletti equalised for the visitors shortly after. But three minutes later, the striker provided a brilliant assist for Kvaratskhelia's winner to seal a crucial win for his side. Osimhen received the ball inside the box and then showcased a series keepy-uppies that allowed him to beat four defenders before sending a square pass towards Kvaratskhelia who slotted the ball home.

  The 24-year-old striker has maintained his form from last season as he is currently joint-third in the Serie A top scorer race – after convincingly winning it last season – with seven goals in 12 outings thus far. He has been linked with a move to Premier League giants Chelsea, who are looking for a quality number nine in the January transfer window, although, it was recently reported that he is close to signing a new deal with the reigning Serie A champions that will see his release clause rise to €130 million (£112m/$142m).
