Victor Osimhen maintained his astonishing goalscoring form over the weekend as Napoli beat Cremonese 3-0 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Saturday, February 11.

The Napoli frontman was on the scoresheet in 6 consecutive Serie A matches as the league leaders breezed past the bottom-placed team to continue their astonishing run in this season's campaign.

The 24-year-old became the first player to manage this feat since Gonzalo Higuain in the 2015/2016 season.

Osimhen has also managed 8 Serie A goals in 2023- more than any other player in the Italian topflight.

With his 68th-minute strike, the Super Eagle took his goal tally in the league to 17 goals in 18 league matches.

Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Eljif Elmas grabbed the other goals as Napoli marches on to their first Scudetto in over three 3 decades.
