Victor Osimhen, Napoli to resolve issues after failed move to Chelsea
Victor Osimhen and Napoli are reportedly working towards resolving their issues after the striker failed to secure a move away from the club on deadline day.
As it happened
Napoli’s new manager, Antonio Conte, named an unchanged side that defeated Bologna 3-0 in their previous Serie A match.
Wantaway striker Victor Osimhen was not in the squad after he was banished from the season squad after a failed Chelsea move.
Parma’s manager, on the other hand, made just one change to his side that defeated AC Milan 2-1 last time out.
The game started with both teams looking bright, but it was Parma who hit the back of the net first from the penalty spot.
Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret went in with a hard tackle and Paride Tremolada blew for a foul and a penalty.

Ange-Yoan Bonny ran up to the ball, stopped and waited for Alex Meret to commit before slotting the penalty into the middle of the goal.
Parma held on for most of the first half, frustrating Napoli and took their one-goal lead into the halftime break.
The second half started with Napoli trying to get back into the game but left it very late to get the equaliser.
Napoli’s new signing Romelu Lukaku scored his debut goal after unleashing an unstoppable shot inside the right post in injury time.

Frank Anguissa then sealed the comeback by heading the ball into the roof of the net from a cross.
Napoli looked shaky but did the job at the end of the day, sealing a remarkable comeback against 10-men Parma.
