Man Of The Moment, Osimhen Sets Two New Records In Serie A

 

Man of the moment, Victor Osimhen set two records in Napoli's 2-0 win over Sampdoria in their last game of the season on Sunday, Sportivationng.com reports.

Osimhen became the first-ever African to win the Italian Serie A top scorer award with 26 goals.

He also became the African with the most goals in the history of the competition with 50 goals.

The Nigeria international found the net from the penalty spot in 64th minute to give his side the lead after a barren first half.

With the goal Osimhen became the first African in the 125-year history to win the golden boot.

He finished the campaign with 26 goals and four assists as Napoli won the Scudetto for the first time in 33 years.
