Lookman fires Atalanta equaliser as Osimhen assists Napoli’s winner

Date:

Victor Osimhen marked his comeback from injury by assisting Elf Elmas winning goal for Napoli with hostilities finishing 2-1 against hosts Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium on Saturday.

Osimhen had been out of action for about six weeks with a strain that he suffered during the friendly match against Saudi Arabia.

However, the 24-year-old came off the sub bench to help Napoli claim a hard-earned win in Walter Mazzarri’s first game in charge.

Geargian forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia netted the opener for the visitors a minute before the break.

But Nigeria’s import Ademola Lookman equalised for Atalanta in the 53rd minute.

Osimhen replaced Giacomo Raspadori on 64 minutes before setting up Elmas for the winner goal om the 79th minute.
