Serie A: Osimhen helps Napoli beat Empoli, extend winning streak

Victor Osimhen failed to add to his goal tally, but Napoli defeated Empoli 2-0 to make it 10th straight win in Serie A.

Osimhen previously scored in Napoli’s last four Serie A games but missed out on extending the run.

The 23-year-old also failed to equal Arkadiusz Milik’s record.

The Poland international was the last Napoli player to have found the net in five consecutive matches.

Hirving Lozano put Luciano Spalletti’s side from the spot on 69th minute after Osimhen was fouled inside the box.

Lozano set up for Piotr Zielinski for the second goal two minutes from time.

Osimhen was replaced by Giovanni Simeone on the dot of 90 minutes.

His international teammate, Tyrone Ebuehi was an unused substitute for Empoli in the game.
