Fabian Ruiz and Victor Osimhen scored quality goals for Napoli, but Sampdoria saw a potential equaliser disallowed for a push.

The Partenopei completed a wonderful team move with a series of one-touch passes allowing Fabian Ruiz to fire in.

Morten Thorsby thought he’d equalised with a header, but it was disallowed following a VAR review.

Instead, Nigeria international Osimhen sprinted away on the Dries Mertens assist to double Napoli’s lead.
