Victor Osimhen today equaled the record of Samuel Eto’o as the African with the most goals in Serie A in a single season with his 21st goal for Napoli.
Eto’o achieved his tally in the 2010/2011 season with Inter Milan.
“Osimheeeen, he’s having his cake and eating it too” 👏

He is now just two goals shy of George Weah’s all-time tally by an African with 46 goals in Serie A and on course to becoming the first African player to be crowned Goal King of Italy.
He is only the fourth Napoli player to reach 20 goals in a season and he is now six goals ahead of his nearest challenger in the Serie A goals race.
Osimhen first headed Napoli ahead in the ninth minute at Torino, before he scored with another header for Napoli third goal in the 51st minute.
Napoli won 4-0 to continue their march towards a third Scudetto.
They are now 21 points clear of closest rivals Inter Milan after 27 matches.
