ROME, Nov 6: Victor Osimhen put together another strong performance to extend Napoli’s winning streak to nine games in the Italian league with a 2-1 victory over second-place Atalanta in a top-of-the-table clash on Saturday.
The victory moved Napoli eight points clear ahead of Atalanta and nine points ahead of defending champion AC Milan, which was hosting Spezia later.
Ademola Lookman opened the scoring for Atalanta with a penalty following a handball from Osimhen.
Osimhen redeemed himself four minutes later by equalising with a towering header. In the 35th, Osimhen turned provider when he fought his way past Merih Demiral on the right flank to send in a cross that Elif Elmas redirected in with a deflected shot after faking his way past Atalanta defender Hans Hateboer.
