A Scotland star opened the scoring within 25 seconds in a Serie A clash this evening.
Scott McTominay made the £25million summer switch to Napoli, leaving behind boyhood heroes Manchester United for pastures new, and he hasn't looked back.
The box-to-box midfielder netted his first goal during a 5-0 rout of Palermo in the Coppa Italia on September 26.
Since that memorable moment, he provided the perfect assist for teammate Khvicha Kvaratskheila to score against Monza last weekend.
This time, Napoli's home clash with Como had barely kicked off when McTominay fired in off the post from 12-yards out following some excellent hold-up play from Romelu Lukaku.
Gabriel Strefezza did equalise for Como before half-time. However, a Lukaku penalty and late David Neres effort ensured that Napoli remain at the league summit.
Speaking to Sky Italia after the full-time whistle, the 27-year-old earned praise from Lukaku:
"He knows my game, we played together in Manchester two years ago," the Belgian international striker said.
“I know his ability in front of the goal that is deadly, we expect many goals and assists from him. He's doing very well and he must continue like this."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
