RED-HOT OSIMHEN HITS HAT-TRICK TO FIRE NAPOLI PAST SASSUOLO

Victor Osimhen continued his red-hot return from injury on Saturday with a hat-trick in Napoli’s 4-0 win over Sassuolo which sent his team six points clear at the top of Serie A.

Nigeria forward Osimhen struck twice in the first 19 minutes in Naples and then dinked home his third with 13 minutes remaining to ensure Napoli extended both their club-record winning streak to 13

matches and their lead on champions AC Milan, who face Torino on Sunday.
The 23-year-old has burst back into the team after over a month out with a thigh injury, rattling in six goals in his last four matches between Serie A and the Champions League.

Saturday’s clinical display of finishing took his league tally this season to seven goals in eight appearances and moved him to level with Bologna’s Marko Arnautovic at the top of the scoring charts.
