Osimhen nets brace vs Spezia

Osimhen then extended his lead in the Serie A scorer’s chart when he netted a brace as Napoli defeated Spezia 3-0.

The first half had ended goalless, but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring for the league leaders in the 47th minute.

Mid-way through the second half, Osimhen netted a brace in five minutes, finding the back of the net in the 68th and 73rd minute to seal the win for the Partenopei.

He takes his tally this season to 16 goals in 17 league matches, helping Napoli extend their lead on the table further.

And fans have continued to react.

One said:

“He should stay in Italy, he would be a legend there.”

Another added:

“He will give the lady his match shirt at the end. My prediction.”
