Osimhen breaks Eto's record

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Victor Osimhen has Napoli on the verge of being crowned Italian Serie A champions for the first time in 33 years with his equalising goal against Udinese in the second half.

The Nigerian powered home a shot through the crowd after a box 18 scramble from a corner kick to help Napoli within minutes of sealing the title.

The goal was his 22nd league goal of the season, surpassing the most by an African player in the Italian league, held by the legendary Samuel Eto'o with 21 scored in the 2010/11 season for Inter Milan.
