Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen returned back to action with a bang for Napoli over Venezia during their Serie A clash on Sunday.

The man on masked got his first goal back for Napoli in Serie A since October to keep the scudetto race strong.

It was his first start since November after suffering a fractured cheekbone and eye socket and he bags a big goal for Napoli with a brilliant header.

Napoli, the league leaders in average possession, dominated the ball today, and were tireless in pressing without the ball, presenting a major challenge to find space and attack. Osimhen’s second-half strike was decisive, and Petagna adds one late.#ArancioNeroVerde 🟠⚫️🟢 pic.twitter.com/1XvSlLszKS

After a goalless first half, Victor Osimhen gave Napoli a deserved lead just 14 minutes into the second half.

Thanks to a cross from Matteo Politano, his header from the left side of the six yard box to the top right corner gave Luciano Spalletti’s team the lead.

The 23-year-old’s goal was his tenth for Napoli this season, and he obviously will still be counting.

Osimhen has scored more goals than any other Napoli player across all competitions this season:

◎ 17 games
◉ 10 goals

Into double figures.

In extra time, though, Venezia were reduced to ten men as Nigerian defender Tyronne Ebuehi was sent off.

Before Andrea Petagna scored in 90+10 minutes to ensure that his team secured and clinched all three points.

With the win, Napoli returns to second place in the league standings, level with AC Milan on 52 points after 24 games.
