Osimhen's Napoli boost Serie A top-four hopes with Fiorentina victory

The Super Eagles striker was in action at the Stadio Artemio Franchi but he could add to his tally of 10 league goals in this campaign

Victor Osimhen led Napoli’s frontline as they boosted their chances of qualifying for the Champions League with a 2-0 victory over Fiorentina in a Serie A match on Sunday.

The Nigeria international played for 84 minutes as Lorenzo Insigne's strike after his penalty was saved and an own goal from Lorenzo Venuti handed them a crucial win away from home.

Osimhen struggled to make an impact in front of goal with only a shot registered before he was replaced by Andrea Petagna with six minutes left on the clock.
