Napoli striker Victor Osimhen scored one of his two goals against Spezia with a towering header that measured 2.58 meters in height, flying higher than Cristiano Ronaldo’s header against Sampdoria in 2019.
Osimhen has been in terrific form this season, striking a deadly partnership with Georgia’s Kvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The Nigeria international scored twice in Napoli’s 3-0 win on Sunday, taking him to 16 goals in 17 Serie A outings this season.
His second goal at the Stadio Picco over the weekend came with a header and saw him reach a height of 2.58m. Osimhen outjumped Spezia defenders and goalkeeper, but also former Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo.
