McTominay's Brace Lifts Napoli Three Points Clear

Scott McTominay scored both goals in Napoli’s 2-0 win over Torino, breaking Denis Law’s 63-year record for most goals by a Scottish player in a Serie A season and moving his tally to 11. The victory put Napoli three points clear at the top of Serie A with four matches remaining, following Inter Milan’s loss to Roma and a potential injury to Inter defender Benjamin Pavard. Under manager Antonio Conte, McTominay has transformed from a criticized midfielder at Manchester United to a celebrated scorer embraced by Napoli fans. The win keeps Napoli on track for their first league title since 2023. Only Napoli, Inter, Atalanta, and Juventus remain in mathematical contention for the championship. Manchester United fans have expressed regret over McTominay’s transfer due to his impact at Napoli.
