Nigeria international Victor Osimhen hopes he can continue his goalscoring form after netting a hat-trick for Napoli in the 4-0 win over Sassuolo in Serie A.

The 23-year-old's superbly-taken treble on Saturday helped Napoli extend their lead at the top of the table.

He scored twice in the first 19 minutes and dinked in his third 13 minutes from time to make it seven league goals this season – and give him a share of first place in the Golden Boot race with Austrian Marko Arnautovic.

"That was my first professional hat-trick so I'm really excited about it," Osimhen told BBC Sport Africa.

"It's been a great return after a few challenges at the start of the season and hopefully I can continue this form.

"As a striker you always want to help your team so I want to stay hungry for more."

Osimhen spent over a month out with a thigh injury but has scored six goals in his past four outings across all competitions since his return.
