Victor Osimhen emotional after scoring for Napoli vs Monza

An incredible display of ruthlessness from Napoli saw them turn around a HT deficit, en-route to overcoming AC Monza 4-2 in a classic Serie A thriller at the Stadio Brianteo, though the champions are now 10 league games without a clean sheet.

Cameroon midfielder Frank Anguissa sends a superb cross into the box. Victor Osimhen latches on to it and from near the penalty spot powers a header inside the left post, leaving Michele Di Gregorio beaten.

Victor Osimehn leaps to give Napoli parity in match against Monza.

A spectacular bicycle kick by the Super Eagles striker late in the encounter did not trouble the Monza goalkeeper, Michele Di Gregorio as the match ended 2-4 in favor of Napoli.

The away win has lifted Napoli to seventh place on the table with 48 points from 31 matches. However, they are two points outside of the Top-6 qualification bracket for European football next season.

With Victor Osimhen set to leave Napoli in the summer, it is yet to see how Partenope copes with losing the Super Eagles forward.

In an otherwise disappointing campaign, keeping alive their hopes of a 16th successive year in European competition next term remains a positive to look forward to in the closing stages.
