Romelu Lukaku has done well to grab the place of Victor Osimhen at Napoli, according to a top Italian football commentator.
On Saturday night, Napoli consolidated their leadership of the Italian Serie A on the back of a 3-2 win at fellow title chasers Atalanta.
Napoli are now six points clear of nearest challengers Inter Milan, who have two games in hand.
Ademola Lookman scored Atalanta equaliser at 2-2 only for Lukaku to grab a late winner for Napoli.
It was his eighth Serie A goal this season.
“Neres and Lukaku are the replacements for Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen,” celebrated Mediaset commentator Bruno Longhi.
“They pushed the team to a sixth straight victory.”
