Scott McTominay's stunning scissor kick delivers Serie A title for Napoli
Scott McTominay completed a brilliant first season in Italy by scoring the opening goal as Napoli clinched their fourth Serie A title in the final game of the campaign. The former Manchester United midfielder scored a stunning scissor kick three minutes before half-time as Napoli saw off Cagliari 2-0 to beat Inter Milan to the Scudetto by one point. Advertisement Napoli had drawn their last two games to allow Inter back into the title race and anything other than a win on Friday would have opened the door for Simone Inzaghi's side to retain the trophy. Inter did their job by beating in-form Como 2-0 and led the table for 22 minutes after Stefan de Vrij's first-half header put them into the lead, while Napoli wasted a number of chances at a nervy Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. But McTominay acrobatically fired in his 12th goal of his debut Serie A campaign to start the celebrations across Naples. Former United team-mate Romelu Lukaku added a superb second soon after half-time to settle any remaining nerves.
