TWO Super Eagles stars were on target in Serie A and LaLiga on Saturday but their clubs had mixed fortunes.
Victor Osimhen was one of the scorers at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona when Napoli thumped Sassuolo 6-1 to retain a firm grip on third place in Serie A.
The Nigeria striker struck the second goal to take his tally for the season to 13 goals and five assists in 24 Serie A appearances.
Kalidou Coulibaly, Dries Mertens and Hirving Lozano scored the other goals as Napoli moved to within four points of leaders AC Milan, who have a game in hand.
In Spain, Samuel Chukwueze scored Villarreal’s only goal in their 2-1 defeat at Deportivo Alaves.
The Nigeria forward netted two minutes after the break to reduce the deficit after Alaves scored twice in the first half.
Chukwueze and his Villarreal colleagues will be in action again on Tuesday in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Liverpool. The English club won the first leg 2-0 at Anfield on Wednesday.
