Serie A: Why Osimhen didn't celebrate after scoring against Maduka Okoye

Napoli talisman Victor Osimhen opted not to celebrate after scoring against Udinese in their recent Serie A clash on Monday, May 6.

The 25-year-old found the back of the net with a powerful header in the 51st minute, courtesy of an excellent cross from Mateo Politano on the right flank.

Osimhen expertly navigated his way in between two Udinese defenders to head the ball into the net, hitting the right post on its way in.

Facing Osimhen in goal for Udinese was Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, who was rooted to the spot as Osimhen's well-placed header went in.

Despite scoring his 15th Serie A goal of the season, Osimhen refrained from celebrating.

Reports suggest that he chose not to jubilate out of respect for his Super Eagles teammate who was in goal for the opposing team.

I will say it again, Chelsea will be so so lucky to sign Victor Osimhen.

Boy looks too good for the club, proper striker goal here..🤯🤯🤯

Recent reports from Italy indicate that Osimhen is doubt for Napoli's next fixture against Bologna this weekend after sustaining an injury in the game against Udinese.
