Victor Osimhen headed his 12th goal in Serie A this season for Napoli to fight back from a goal down and win 4-2 at Monza on Sunday.
The reigning African Footballer of the year connected home a cross from the right with a powerful header in the 55th minute.
Napoli scored three goals within six second-half minutes to clinch a 4-2 victory at Monza and keep alive their slim hopes of a top-four finish in Serie A.
Napoli are seventh in the table with 48 points, 10 points behind fourth-placed Bologna, who played out a goalless draw at Frosinone earlier on Sunday. Monza are 11th with 42 points.
Milan Duric nodded in a goal for Monza nine minutes into the match, outmanoeuvring Napoli’s Juan Jesus to connect with a cross.
Napoli’s response kicked off 10 minutes into the second half with Victor Osimhen’s equaliser, closely followed by Matteo Politano’s remarkable volley two minutes later. In the 61st minute, Piotr Zielinski’s long-range strike secured the visitors’ third goal.
Andrea Colpani swiftly added to Monza’s tally with a stunning curled shot into the corner a minute later, while Giacomo Raspadori capitalised on a rebound to score Napoli’s fourth goal, 68 minutes into the game.
