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.

    I’m in Ghana and they’re in panic mode lol. Osimhen is exactly what we need against Ghana. He’s a traditional centerforward with brute force and physicality. Ghanaians will not bring that their useless physicality to him.
    I’ll suggest he should be protected in Eagles training when the camp opens.

      Ghanaians are shaking because of this GLASS EYE!! lol

      We ll smash all those glass eyes on the floor when he plays physically lol

      Watch and see and besides Ghanaians don’t play physical football, we are arguably the MOST TECHNICAL TEAM in Africa

      Nigeria plays physical

    very Good news Now please Osimhen just try and fly to Accra Ghana direct as soon as possible even tomorrow so you have enough rest in order to continue to bang more goals against Ghana!

      Don’t worry. With Osigoal, Ighalo, when the Ague (palace) add Moses plus Amoo, my fellow Country people, the job is done right there in their back yard. Better believe me.

  • You don’t need to train again with Napoli osihme just come home straight.

    After all you won’t be playing their next game. Please just come home.

    You and ighalo are highly needed against would be strong and stubbon ghanians defenders.

    No other striker expect these two, I repeat no other striker expect these two can go dirty against any defender in our present se team.

    We need aghaowva and obafemi combo type of striker against Ghana. Not the jelenke type that saudiq and awoniyi will bring to table.

    After these two games any other striker can then be use for try and error games.
