McTominay double fires Napoli to top, Atalanta and Lecce play draw

Juventus moved into the fourth and final Champions League qualification spot with a 2-0 victory at home to basement-club Monza

- 

Two first-half goals from Scott McTominay helped Napoli to a 2-0 home win against Torino in Serie A on Sunday as the hosts reclaimed the sole lead in the standings with four games left to play.

Napoli top Serie A with 74 points, three points clear of defending champions Inter Milan, who were handed a I-O home defeat by AS Roma earlier on Sunday.

The 2023 champions had moved level with Inter at the Serie A summit in the previous round when they earned a 1-0 win at bottom side Monza and Simone Inzaghi’s men suffered a last-gasp loss at Bologna the following day.

Napoli raced to a seventh-minute lead through McTominay, who bundled the ball in from close range. Frank Anguissa squared it to the in-form Scotland midfielder, who found the net with a composed first touch.

The 28-year-old doubled the advantage just before halftime, striking from around the penalty spot from a neat lofted cross by Matteo Politano, making it his fifth goal in the last three appearances.

McTominay, who joined Napoli in August from Manchester United, has now scored II goals in his debut Serie A season.
