A fantastic finish from Victor Osimhen fired Napoli to a 1-0 victory against Roma on Sunday to keep his side three points clear at the top of Serie A.

WHAT HAPPENED? The striker got on the end of a long ball and fought off Roma defender Chris Smalling to fire in from a tight angle in a goal reminiscent of Marco van Basten's iconic strike for the Netherlands against Soviet Union at Euro 1988.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Napoli were made to dig deep for the victory at Stadio Olimpico as they had a hard time getting past a dogged Roma defence moulded in Jose Mourinho's image. In the end, though, Osimhen had the final say on proceedings to give the visitors a vital win that keeps them three points clear of AC Milan at the top of Serie A.

ALL EYES ON: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been in incredible form for Napoli in recent weeks, having either scored or assisted a goal in each of the previous four matches for the Serie A side. There is talk of growing interest in the Georgian winger, but he had a quiet evening against the stubborn home team, leaving it up to Osimhen to make the difference.
