WATCH: How's he scored from there?! Victor Osimhen continues fine goalscoring form from impossible angle as Napoli hit 18-point gap at Serie A summit

  • Napoli already leading
  • Then Osimhen delivers moment of class
  • Scored his 18th league goal

WHAT HAPPENED? Hoping to extend their league at top of Serie A to 18 points, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring for Gli Azzurri in the 12th minute. Then, just after the half-hour mark, Osimhen doubled the lead as he rifled the ball into the back of the next from a near-impossible angle – although there may be question marks over the goalkeeper who was beaten at his near post.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: That goal now means Osimhen has 18 in 19 Serie A games, while he also has four assists in Italy's top flight. As Napoli won the game 2-0, they now sit 18 points ahead of Inter (who play Udinese on Saturday) in second place.
