​No Osimhen, no problem as Napoli defeat Ekuban’s Genoa

Despite missing the services of their Nigerian import, Luciano Spalletti’s Blues recorded an impressive away win over the Griffin

Napoli made light of Victor Osimhen’s absence with a 2-1 victory over Genoa on Sunday to continue their impressive start to the 2021-22 campaign.

The Nigeria international was missing due to the two-game ban meted out on him following his dismissal during the Parthenopeans’ 2-0 victory over Venezia last weekend.

Goals from Fabian Ruiz and Andrea Petagna all found the back of the net for Luciano Spalletti’s men against their hosts, who handed Caleb Ekuban his maiden appearance.
