Napoli came from two goals down to force Leicester City to a 2-2 draw in the Europa League, thanks to a brace from their Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen.

Leicester City raced to a two goal lead with Ayoze Perez and Harvey Barnes scoring in the 9th and 64th minute respectively with Kelechi Iheanacho laying the assist for Barnes.

The Foxes look to be cruising to all three points but Osimhen had other ideas by first of all looping the ball over Kasper Schmeichel to reduce the deficit for his side in the 69th minute.

Three minutes from regulation time he was there once again to draw his side level, this time around with a firm header which sailed passed the hapless Schmeichel.

The goal left his teammate Kalidou Koulibaly with nothing but praises for the club record forward, terming him as the weapon of the team and also praising him for improving daily.

“It was not easy to recover and get results on this field “. Koulibaly said on the challenge from Leicester City.

“We faced a good team that plays fast and vertically. We were very good at keeping the ball and we could have even won if we looked at the whole game.”

Osimhen is our deadly weapon. We know his value, he grows day by day, he listens to advice and knows how to give the depth we always need”.

We probably would have lost this race a few years ago, but this group showed maturity, experience and mentality. We are not afraid in the most delicate moments and this is very important”
