Napoli have extended their lead at the top of Serie A to 18 points after a 1-0 win over Sampdoria on Sunday. The victory was secured thanks to a goal from Victor Osimhen, who scored his 10th goal of the season.
The Nigerian forward has been in excellent form since joining Napoli from Lille last summer, and his goal against Sampdoria was a crucial one as it ensured that Napoli remain on course for the Serie A title.
The win was Napoli’s 15th in a row in Serie A, and they have now opened up an 18-point lead at the top of the table. It is the biggest lead any team has had in the Italian top flight since Juventus’ 19-point lead in 2016/17.
Napoli have been in superb form this season, and they have been particularly impressive away from home. They have won 11 of their 13 away games in Serie A this season, and they have only dropped points in two away games.
Osimhen has been a key player for Napoli this season, and his 10 goals have been crucial in helping the team to the top of the table. He has also contributed four assists, and his all-round contribution has been invaluable for Napoli.
Napoli’s next game is against Hellas Verona on Sunday, and they will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table. With 18 points separating them from second-placed Inter Milan, it looks like Napoli are well on course to win their first Serie A title since 1990.
