Nigerian football star, Victor Osimhen equalled late legendary Argentina captain Diego Maradona’s scoring feat at Napoli, after bagging a hat-trick against Sassuolo.
Osimhen got his second-ever
hat-trick in Serie A as Napoli thrashed Sassuolo 6-1 away on Wednesday night,
February 28.
The Super Eagles striker has
now scored in his last three games for the Italian league champions.
Also, he has taken his tally
for the league campaign to 11 in 15 games.
His second goal against
Sassuolo which put Napoli 3-1 ahead took his goals in the league to 10.
Osimhen is now the only third
Napoli player in the club’s history to have scored 10 or more goals for four
consecutive seasons.
Maradona did that between 1984
and 1988 and one has to go as far back as 1929, when Attila Sallustro achieved
the same feat for the Partenopei, between 1929/30 and 1932/33).
