Osimhen's late strike takes Napoli top of Serie A
Nigeria’s international Victor Osimhen scored the only goal of the match on Sunday as Napoli beat Torino to move top of Serie A table.
The Nigerian striker has now scored five goals in the league this season.
The match was heading for a draw when Osimhen struck on 81 minutes to send the crowd into an uproar.
The tall striker got to a rebound inside the six-yard box and produced a header. He managed to put the ball inside the left post, and thus alter the score to make it 1-0 for his team.
Torino did well to stifle Napoli in the opening stages, keeping their defence disciplined and forcing the hosts to send Osimhen hunting for percentage passes.
They found avenues forward down the right flank and caught Napoli sleeping on occasion, but lacked conviction around the goalmouth.
