Scott McTominay was back on the scoresheet for Napoli last night in what was another crucial Serie A goal for the Scotland international.
The midfielder tapped home from close range after a well-worked corner by the away side at the San Siro against Inter Milan.
McTominay and fellow Scot Billy Gilmour started the match in Milan, as Antonio Conte's side moved clear at the top of the table with the 1-1 draw.

However, Hakan Calhanoglu equalised for the hosts before the break but later missed a penalty as he fluffed his lines and both teams settled for a share of the spoils.
Napoli moved a point clear of rivals Atalanta, Fiorentina, Inter and Lazio with the stalemate.
That's now two goals and one assist in nine Serie A games for McTominay, as he continues his fine form abroad since moving from Old Trafford on deadline day.
He will join up with his international teammates today as Steve Clarke's side gets set to face Croatia on home soil this Friday night, before the trip to play Poland a week tonight.
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!
