Victor Osimhen scored a beauty of a goal as Serie A leaders Napoli defeated Roma to make it 11 consecutive wins in all competitions.

The Nigerian beat Chris Smalling to a long ball before hitting a brilliant half-volley from a tight angle past Rui Patricio with 10 minutes left of regular time.

The visitors created the best chances and had a penalty award overturned by the video assistant referee.

Patricio brought down Tanguy Ndombele in the first half for a spot-kick but after consulting VAR, the referee changed his mind after seeing the incident again on the pitchside monitor.

Hirving Lozano was denied twice by the Roma keeper either side of the half-time break and Osimhen, making his first start in six weeks, dragged a shot just wide but eventually found the back of the net late on the hand the visitors the win.

Luciano Spalletti's side sit three points above AC Milan at the top of the standings.

Jose Mourinho's Roma - who did not manage a shot on target - remain fifth.

Napoli, Real Madrid and Paris St-Germain are the only unbeaten teams left in Europe's top five leagues.
