On Sunday, Osimhen added two more goals to help Napoli defeat Spezia 3-0.
The win puts Napoli 16 points ahead of Inter Milan in second place, who will now play an out-of-sorts AC Milan in the derby later.
Osimhen has now scored in five straight league games as he maintains his scoring pace.
The Nigerian forward's league-leading total of goals is at 16, after seven goals in that time.
The visitors were awarded a penalty less than ten seconds after the half despite Spezia's strong defense against Napoli's brilliant assault.
Napoli looked to be taking the Serie A championship under Victor Osimhen.
When Matteo Politano attempted to evade Arkadiusz Reca, the defender failed to predict that the ball would bounce onto his outstretched arm.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was presented a chance to put his team in front from the penalty spot and he didn't disappoint.
After Khvicha Kvaratskhelia successfully converted the penalty, the game became more open.
Osimhen had a goal disallowed in the 62nd minute for tripping Mattia Caldara, but five minutes later he doubled his total thanks to another assist from Kvaratskhelia.
