Lorenzo Insigne missed a penalty, a poor kick comfortably saved by Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic and there were chances as well for Osimhen with a couple of strikes at goal from range.

Nine minutes from time, the Nigeria international scored what proved to be the winning goal as he headed home with Eljif Elmas providing the assist for the goal.

Torino had opportunities in the second half most notably from Josip Brekalo who weaved his way inside the penalty area but couldn't control his effort when the ball was hit very appetizingly across the face of goal.

Osimhen has tallied eight goals from nine appearances in all competitions so far this season, with five of the goals netted in the top-flight.

With eight wins from eight, Napoli are topping the Serie A table with 24 points accumulated, two more than nearest challengers AC Milan.
