Serie A leaders Napoli torched Juventus 5-1 on Friday with Victor Osimhen scoring a brace. The Nigerian forward put the hurt on Juve metaphorically and literally.
In the 47th minute Osimhen accidentally landed a perfect uppercut on Manuel Locatelli. The Napoli No. 9 had already burned Juventus in the first half, so Alex Sandro was hassling and grabbing at him right as the second half began.
Osimhen threw his arms up in protest after being dispossessed of the ball but little did he know Locatelli was right next to him. What followed was something straight out of UFC.
Federico Chiesa was dribbling the ball down the sideline and turned around to see what all the commotion was. He then careened into one of the physios who was going out to help Locatellli.

LOL.
Locatelli had to clean some blood off but was able to continue.
Osimhen would go on to score again for Napoli in the 65th minute. He leads the league in goals with 12 through 14 games.
Set up by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, put home by Victor Osimhen.
