Napoli extended their unbeaten run with a 13th consecutive victory in all competitions, as Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen bagged a hat-trick, while Kvicha Kvaratskhelia got one goal and two assists.
The Partenopei are the in-form team in Europe right now, welcoming back Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa from injury, so only Amir Rrahmani was still out of action.
The in-form Super Eagle striker was in the right place to poke home Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s header after just four minutes.

The 23-year-old came close on several occasions and his zeal was rewarded in the 20th minute when the duo combined once again with the West African showing great composure to find the back of the net.
In the 32nd minute, Osimhen managed to get past his marker before making an attempt. However, the defender was in the right position to stop the ball from crossing the goal line.
Kvaratskhelia ensured the Naples-based team went into the break with a 3-0 lead after connecting a Mario Rui’s lofted cross.
The red-hot Osimhen then completed his hat-trick in the 78th minute when he spotted the goalkeeper off his line and he lifted the ball over him and into the back of the net.
