Osimhen fails to shine against Inter
In a one-sided affair, Inter looked to be the home side as they dominated and caged Nigeria’s Osimhen all game.
Despite lasting 90 minutes, the 24-year-old was expertly limited by the visitors in Naples.
Osimhen only managed two efforts which he failed to get on target as Inter capitalised on his quiet outing to run riot.
Hakan Calhanoglu opened the floodgates in the first half before Nicolo Barella and Marcus Thuram joined in a blistering second half display from the San Siro giants.
Osimhen managed just 13 passes all game and completed just seven of them for a 54% pass accuracy.
What the result means
With the performance against Inter, the Nigerian striker failed to add to his tally of six goals this season for the Serie A title holders.
In terms of what the result means, Osimhen’s Napoli have now fallen 11 points behind their visitors, Inter, who strengthened their grip at the top of the table with that excellent performance and display.
Inter have 35 points, just two points above Old Lady, Juventus, while city rivals AC Milan are six more points behind in third.
