Victor Osimhen scores his 100th career club goal

Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen scored in Napoli’s 2-0 win against Sassuolo on Sunday to take his career club goals to 100.

Osimhen’s 100th career club goal came from the penalty spot, which he converted on 16th minute. He stepped up and confidently directed the penalty into the left side of the goal.

Sassuolo responded well but occasionally struggled to get out of their own half, so the visitors were likely grateful for the cooling break.

Alessio Dionisi’s men reemerged and made more of an impact on proceedings as they moved the ball around well, and both goalkeepers were made to sweat before half time, with André-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Ruan Tressoldi rising well to head well-hit corners marginally wide at opposite ends.

However, any encouragement for the visitors was nullified shortly after the break when Maxime Lopez was sent off for dissent.

The visitors were at least able to breathe a sigh of relief when Raspadori fired his penalty over after Jeremy Toljan was adjudged to have handled Amir Rrahmani’s header, but the reprieve was short-lived.

Three minutes after being introduced from the bench, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia slid the ball through to Di Lorenzo for the right-back to apply a clinical finish.

Despite Osimhen appearing to be frustrated that he could not net a second brace in as many matchdays, Napoli comfortably picked up all three points as they look to defend the Scudetto they won last term.
