Not known for his goal scoring, Cameroon national team star midfielder AndrĂ©-Frank Zambo Anguissa provided two finishes for Napoli as the Serie A side cruised to victory over the weekend against Torino. Zambo Anguissa’s first two goals of the season in the opening quarter hour of Napoli’s 3-1 home victory leaves the Gli Azzurri in first place in Italy’s top division.
