Victor Osimhen scored twice and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Tanguy Ndombele also scored as Serie A leaders Napoli thrashed Torino 4-0 away on Sunday to edge closer to the title. The Naples team leads Inter Milan, which is in second place and plays Juventus later on Sunday, by 21 points.

After nine minutes, Piotr Zielinski’s corner found Oshimen in the middle of the box, and he headed into the bottom left corner to give Luciano Spalletti’s Napoli side the lead.

After being tripped by Karol Linetty in the 35th minute, Kvaratskhelia increased the advantage with a penalty.

Six minutes into the second half, Oshimen added a second goal to his first to give him a league-leading 21 goals on this season.

Ndombele, a substitute, scored his first Serie A goal in the 68th minute after Kvaratskhelia set him up in the middle of the box.

Following the international break, Napoli will face fourth-placed AC Milan, while mid-table Torino will travel to Sassuolo.
