Osimhen equals Gonzalo Higuain’s record as Napoli beat Cremonese
64
Victor Osimhen marked his Serie A player of the month award for January with a goal against Cremonese.
The Nigerian forward beat Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez, Roma’s Paulo Dybala, Lazio star Luis Alberto and compatriot Ademola Lookman to the gong.
He was presented with honor at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, just before the game against Cremonese.
Osimhen wasted no time to prove he is the mn of the moment, as he doubled Napoli’s lead in the second half.
With the goal, Victor Osimhen has scored eight league goals in 2023, more than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues.
He also becomes the first Napoli player to score in six straight Serie A games since Gonzalo Higuain in 2015/16. And the goal took his tally to 17 goals in 18 games this season.
Birthday boy, Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Eljif Elmas scored the other goals as Napoli moves closer to clinching their first Serie A title since 1990.
