Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen scored a hattrick as Napoli thrashed Sassuolo 4-0 in their Serie A fixture at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
After sitting out Napoli’s 3-0 victory over Rangers in the Champions League on Wednesday, the Super Eagles forward returned to the starting line up.
Osimhen opened the scoring for Napoli barely four minutes into the game, before doubling the lead with his brace fifteen minutes later. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia extended the lead in the 36th minute to seal a 3-0 halftime win.
Napoli continued with their dominance in the second half and was rewarded in the 77th minute when Osimhen got his hat-trick and the Gli Azzurri’s fourth of the game.
Osimhen has now scored in his fifth consecutive games across all competitions. It is the Nigerian seventh goal in seven starts for Napoli this season. He has now scored six goals in five consecutive games for the Italian side in the ongoing campaign.
The three goals gave Osihmen his first Serie A’s hat trick as he powered Napoli six points clear off the league of the second placed team AC Milan.
Napoli are yet to record a defeat this season across all competitions.
