Tanguy Ndombele scored his first Serie A goal of the season to help Napoli continue their incredible campaign.

The midfielder, on loan from Tottenham netted the final goal of their 4-0 win over Torino, with Manchester United target Victor Osimhen shining once again.

Ndombele had been finding life tough at Spurs after making only ten starts for them in the first half of last season before returning to Lyon on loan.

Last summer, he agreed to play for Napoli for the current campaign, for whom he has made 33 appearances so far.

Just six of those have come as starts in the league, but he proved crucial for the side on Sunday afternoon.

Ndombele found the back of the net in the 68th minute to make it game, set and match against Torino.

The opener was scored by Osimhen, before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia doubled their lead from the spot with just over half an hour played.

Osimhen then scored his 25th goal of the season shortly after the break, before teammate Ndombele added the finishing touch.

The efforts from Napoli's star striker has seen him attract interest from some of Europe's top sides.

One of those is United, who talkSPORT understands may face competition from Premier League rivals Chelsea for his signature.

A deal could cost them more than £100million, with the forward being one of football's most in-form players this season.

His goals have helped Napoli rise to the top of Serie A, and they are currently 21 points clear ahead of 2nd place Inter Milan.

Should they happen to go all the way, it would be their first league title since 1990.

They will also face Inter's rivals AC Milan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, with a place in the final certainly not out of the question.
