In his first start since November after suffering a fractured cheekbone and eye socket, Nigeria international Victor Osimhen bagged a big goal for Napoli as he rose highest to put them in front in the 59th minute against Venezia in the Serie A on Sunday.

Andrea Petagna doubled their lead in the 10th minute of stoppage time to wrap up a 2-0 win for Napoli.
