Osimhen Equals Weah, Eto’o, Salah’s Serie A Goals Record
Victor Osimhen equaled the Serie A goals record held by
the trio of George Weah, Samuel Eto’o and Mohamed
Salah after netting a brace in Napoli’s 2-1 comeback win
against Udinese on Saturday.
Going into the game against Udinese, Osimhen had nine
goals and his first goal, which was the equalizer against
Udinese, took him to 10 goals.
His 10th league goal made him the first Nigerian in history
to reach double figures for two different seasons in Serie
A (He scored 10 last season).
Also, he is now the fourth African player to hit double
figures in two different Serie A seasons after Weah, Eto’o
and Salah.
He went on to grab the winner which means he now has
11 goals in the Italian topflight this term.
Saturday’s win saw Napoli on 63 points level on points
with AC Milan at the top.
