It was the striker’s first goal for the Serie A champions since he sustained a hamstring injury on international duty last month.
Mazzarri, who took charge of the Serie A champions last week has kind words for the talismanic striker.
“I didn’t need to be the Napoli coach to know that Osimhen is an excellent striker, I had watched him play! Fortunately he is back, I hope he gets his form back as soon as possible,” he said.
The 24-year-old has scored six goals in nine appearances for Napoli this season.
