Nigerian Striker, Victor Osimhen admits the 3-2 win over Napoli was ‘really intense’ as toned down the ambitions of winning the Golden Boot in favour of the Scudetto.

The centre-forward opened the scoring at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, nodding in an Eljif Elmas cross in what will be an important goal as Udinese tried a comeback after going three goals down.

“I think this game was really intense, especially the second half. We played as a team to get the three points, the most important thing is to keep going and remember no game is easy, so we did great,” Osimhen told DAZN via Football Italia.

This goal was the Nigerian’s second consecutive headed goal after the winner away in Atalanta.

“I’m happy about the goal, Eljif gave me a great assist. I am happy to contribute and we want to keep the momentum going.”

With nine Serie A goals in just 11 games, is Osimhen targeting the Capocannoniere title in Serie A this season?

“That is not for me, I don’t put myself before the team or my individual ambition. It is a team sport and I want to win trophies with this team. If I win Capocannoniere, I’ll be happy, but the important thing is the team wins.”
