Red-hot Osimhen on target but Napoli fall to Victor Moses' Spartak Moscow

Two Nigerian stars were in action at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona as the Russian visitors secured maximum points in a dramatic encounter

Victor Osimhen came off the bench to score Napoli's second goal in their 3-2 loss to Victor Moses' Spartak Moscow in a Europa League match on Thursday.

The Super Eagles striker replaced Andrea Petagna immediately after half-time and he scored the consolation goal for the Serie A leaders in the 94th minute but it was not enough to save them from conceding their first loss of the season.

The stoppage-time effort was Osimhen’s seventh goal of the season in all competitions, and they have come in his last five outings for Luciano Spalletti’s team in September.
