Victor Osimhen scored on return from injury for Napoli in their 4-2 smashing of Ajax in a champions league group stage on Wednesday.

The Nigerian international scored the fourth goal for Napoli away from home to reach the knockout stage of the champions league.

Napoli raced into a two-goal lead as Hirving Lozano sent a looping header into the far corner and Giacomo Raspadori thumped a left-footed drive into the roof of the net.

Davy Klaasen headed Ajax to reduce the tally after the break.

But Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s penalty, harshly awarded for handball against Jurrien Timber after a Video Assistant Referee review, extended Napoli’s lead back to two goals.

The BBC reports that the visitors were then given a late penalty when Juan Jesus was adjudged to have fouled Brian Brobbey, with former Tottenham forward Steven Bergwijn converting to cause a nervy finale.

However, those nerves were settled when Osimhen harried Daley Blind into a mistake and tapped into the empty net for his first Champions League goal of the season.
