Serie A: Osimhen missing as Napoli thrash Fiorentina 6-0

Super Eagles star attacker Victor Osimhen, was missing as his Serie A side, Napoli thrashed Fiorentina 6-0 at the newly-named Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, on Sunday.

Lorenzo Insigne scored twice for the Gennaro Gattuso’s side.

Fiorentina missed three chances to equalise, twice through Cristiano Biraghi, with Napoli keeper David Ospina denying Franck Ribery before the hosts notched three goals in the last nine minutes of the first half.

Petagna found Diego Demme to finish off, with Insigne then bursting through to set up Lozano for the third and Piotr Zielinski adding a fourth before the break.

Napoli were awarded a penalty after Gaetano Castrovilli fouled Tiemoue Bakayoko. Insigne converted from the spot for his ninth goal this season.

Substitute Matteo Politano completed the rout with a minute to go as Napoli got a major boost before next week’s Italian SuperCup against Juventus.

Recall we earlier reported that Nigeria international Victor Osimhen tested positive for Covid-19 after partying in Nigeria for his birthday late last year.
