Victor Osimhen equals Samuel Eto’o, Mo Salah, George Weah’s recordPublished

-

Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, on Saturday, equaled African legends, Samuel Eto’o, Mohamed Salah and George Weah’s record after scoring a brace in his side’s Serie A 2-1 win over Udinese.

Two goals from Osimhen ensured Napoli defeated Udinese at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

Gerard Deulofeu did score for Udinese in the first half during the encounter.

Osimhen’s two goals against the visitors took him to 11 for the campaign in Serie A.

That makes the Super Eagles’ attacker the first Nigerian to achieve double figures in two consecutive Serie A seasons, while he became just the fourth African player to achieve the feat in the Italian top-flight league, after Weah for Milan, Eto’o for Inter Milan and Salah for AS Roma.

The 23-year-old will now hope to lead Napoli to victory when they face Atalanta in their next Serie A fixture after the international break.

Speaking after Napoli defeated Udinese, Osimhen told DAZN: “The atmosphere was incredible. We had a good reaction after the first half. It was essential to win and I thank the fans for their support.

“We have to believe we can win the league. There are still eight games and we have to continue like this.”

The engagement of some ladies in bestiality has continued to elicit flurry of reactions across social media platforms. On social media, viral videos of some ladies having intercourse with dogs has caused people to wonder why they engage in such act considering the serious health risks.

Arsenal legend, Martin Keown, has warned that his former club could still lose out on finishing in the top four places. The Gunners bounced back from their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in midweek to beat Aston Villa 1-0 at Villa Park on Saturday. The win opened a four-point gap between Mikel Arteta’s men and Manchester United in fifth place. However, Keown feels that their North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur who are currently seventh with 48 points, could clinch the last Champions League spot. “Now there’s a lot of games ahead and I still put Spurs as favourites to make top four. Let’s see if they can do it. Arsenal, we have now got to see, but when I look at the fixtures and I see games away at Chelsea, Spurs, it’s tough. It’s in Arsenal’s hands and if they keep performing as they are they can do it. “I don’t want to put too much pressure on the Arsenal players. I said they are rebuilding their reputation and sometimes they’ve been guilty of too many pats on the back and they’ve lost con...

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the owner of petrochemical behemoth Ineos, has launched a spectacular last-minute bid for Chelsea. Ratcliffe, one of Britain's wealthiest men, has previously been linked with a takeover of Chelsea, but a spokeswoman for the club recently denied suggestions that he could succeed Roman Abramovich. Following the sanctioning of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, the race to buy the club was reduced to three contenders, with consortiums led by former Liverpool chairman Sir Michael Broughton, LA Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly, and Steve Pagliuca, who co-owns the Boston Celtics, remaining in the running after a fourth prospective owner, the Ricketts family, pulled out. After meeting with Blues chairman Bruce Buck yesterday, Ratcliffe, 69, revealed to The Times that he had submitted a late offer for more over £4 billion to US merchant bank Raine Group, which is supervising the sale, on Friday morning.
