Just three minutes later after Osimhen’s opener, Cagliari equalised through Leonardo Pavoletti.

But in the 75th minute Napoli got their second goal thanks to Kvicha Kvaratskhelia from a brilliant assist from Osimhen.

The Super Eagles striker received a pass inside the box, juggled the ball in front of three Cagliari players with his right thigh, slotted it in between the legs of his marker and laid it for his teammate to slam home.

He has scored seven goals in the Italian top flight in the ongoing campaign.

The win took Napoli to fourth place on 27 points and 11 points behind leaders Inter in the league standings.
