Napoli return to winning ways as Roma hold Milan

On Sunday night, Victor Osimhen and Eljif Elmas returned Serie A leaders Napoli to winning ways with their goal in their 2-0 win at Sampdoria.

The goals were enough to secure maximum points for Azurri, who missed a penalty and got back on track.

After suffer8their first defeat of the season against Inter Milan during the midweek, the pressure was on the Partenopei.

Napoli was awarded a controversial penalty in the opening minutes. Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa slipped in the box, and Nicola Murru accidentally trod on his ankle after the fall. 

But VAR only showed the referee the final footage of the stamp, and he pointed to the spot in what is seen as an extraordinarily harsh penalty. Emil Audero stopped the ball from going in by fingertipping Matteo Politano’s spot-kick onto the upright.

The visitors eventually went ahead through Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker stuck out a leg to prod in Mario Rui’s low cross from the left.

Napoli eventually made the result safe through another penalty. Zielinski prodded a loose ball onto Ronaldo Vieira’s trailing arm, and VAR sent the referee to the monitor, and he awarded the spot kick. 

This time Elmas scored by blasting an unstoppable effort into the roof of the net 9 minutes from regulation time to secure maximum points.
