McTominay had a season of his life

McTominay headed past Monza goalkeeper Turati.

In round 33 of Serie A, Scott McTominay's 72nd-minute header gave Napoli a valuable victory at Monza, a team that was teetering on the brink of relegation. This result temporarily brought coach Antonio Conte's team level on points with Inter Milan, the team leading the rankings.

From a cross from his teammate, the Scottish midfielder chose his position and jumped high to score a beautiful header to break the deadlock. The home team Diego Maradona had a lot of difficulties in their away match in Monza, and had to rely on a moment of genius from McTominay to earn all 3 points.

This is McTominay's 10th goal for Napoli this season (9th in Serie A), the best personal achievement of the Scottish player's career.

McTominay’s debut season in Serie A has been nothing short of a miracle, with the Scottish midfielder once again proving to be a key factor in the club’s success. Not only did he score, McTominay also opened the scoring six times, becoming the player to break the deadlock more times in Serie A 2024/25.

Against Monza, McTominay led the way in shots (3) and shots on target (2). He also became the second Napoli midfielder, after Marek Hamsik, to score at least nine goals since the team's promotion to Serie A in the 2007/08 season.

With 71 points after 33 matches, Napoli are level on points with Inter Milan, but have played one more match than their opponents. They are ranked second behind Inter Milan due to an inferior goal difference.
