Serie A: Osimhen matches Higuain, Mertens' record with goal against Udinese

Victor Osimhen was on target for Napoli as they played a 1-1 draw with Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium on Monday, May 6.

The 25-year-old scored in the 51st minute to give the Naples-based club the lead before Isaac Success equalized in stoppage time to rescue a point for the home side.

It was the Super Eagles striker's 15th league goal of the season in 23 appearances for the dethroned Serie A champions.

With his goal against Udinese, Osimhen has now become the third Napoli player to score in six consecutive Serie A matches against the same opponent.

Dries Mertens was the first to achieve this feat against Bologna, before Gonzalo Higuain replicated the feat against Lazio.
