Napoli finish season with 2-0 win over Sampdoria, Osimhen scores
Napoli finished their season on a high note with Victor Osimhen and Giovanni Simeone scoring in a 2-0 victory for the Serie A champions at home against already relegated Sampdoria on Sunday in their season finale.
Napoli finished a triumphant campaign with 90 points from 38 games, while Sampdoria ended bottom on 19 points.
The match was the final game for the two coaches, with Luciano Spalletti having announced his intention to take a sabbatical and Sampdoria manager Dejan Stankovic telling DAZN before kick-off he would not lead the team in Serie B next season.
Osimhen, the league’s leading scorer, sealed his remarkable season with 26 Serie A goals by converting a penalty in the 64th minute after being brought down by Nicola Murru.

Simeone then fired a scorcher into the net five minutes from time to seal the three points for the home side.
The victory means Napoli end the campaign with a 16 point lead over second-placed Lazio.
