The former The Italian footballer Ciro Ferrara spoke DAZN In the aftermath of the Napoli – Udinese match and Nigerian international Victor Osimhem expressed his goal instincts that he needs to do more.
Osimhen scored his ninth league goal of the campaign to help Napoli to a 3-2 win over Udinese on Saturday.
“Osimhen has grown from a technical point of view with Spalletti, but he still has a lot of room for improvement. The header is a trademark, in the first goal; he got away very well with a nice cross from Elmas.
“He played well and scored a fantastic and decisive goal once again.”
Napoli held off Udinese’s late comeback to seal their 11th straight Serie A win, the first time they have done so in a single season.
Goals from Oshimhen, Piotr Zielinski and Eljif Elmas put the hosts in complete control, but two goals in the last 11 minutes, from Ilija Nestorovski and Lazar Samardzic, put Luciano Spalletti’s side on edge.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, who scored nine goals, is the only striker in Europe with more headers than Osimhen. The Super Eagles star has scored eight headers this season.
The win moved Napoli 11 points clear at the top of Italy’s Serie A standings with 41 points from 15 games.
Udinese are eighth with 24 points from 15 games without a win for the seventh consecutive game.
