Osimhen missed a penalty in the 48th minute, however, made up for it with a 74th minute goal as Luciano Spalletti’s side clinch first home win after winning their first Scudetto in more than three decades – since 1990 and the Diego Maradona era.

The Nigeria international’s leveller against Udinese in Udine earned Napoli the one point they needed to win the Serie A 2022/23 title.
