Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen’s late header earned Serie A title chasers Napoli a 1-1 draw at Cagliari.

The hosts had much the better chances throughout the contest, with Gaston Pereiro’s second-half strike that wiggled through the hands David Ospina giving them a deserved 58th-minute lead.

Ospina pulled off two superb late saves to keep Napoli in the match, and his efforts proved crucial and down to the other end, Osimhen head home a dramatic equaliser three minutes from time.

The point for Napoli leaves them third in the standings, but they did at least close the gap to Milan at the top to two points.
