• Scott McTominay scored two goals, leading Napoli to a 2-0 victory over Torino.

In a crucial Serie A match, Scott McTominay showcased his skills by scoring two first-half goals, aiding Napoli in a 2-0 home win against Torino. This victory allowed Napoli to reclaim sole leadership in the league standings, currently holding 74 points with four games remaining in the season, three points clear of champions Inter Milan, who lost 1-0 to AS Roma earlier on the same day, according to channelnewsasia, reuters, and dawn.

The victory also secured Napoli a top-four finish, thus ensuring their participation in the prestigious Champions League next season after a year of absence. McTominay's performance marked his fifth goal in the last three appearances, bringing his season tally to 11 since joining the club in August from Manchester United. Napoli’s win follows a narrow 1-0 victory against Monza in the prior round, where they had leveled with Inter at the summit of Serie A, according to channelnewsasia, reuters, and dawn.

McTominay opened the scoring just seven minutes in, slotting home after a set-up from Frank Anguissa. He subsequently doubled the lead shortly before halftime, tucking away a cross from Matteo Politano. Despite these two strikes, Napoli struggled for shots on target thereafter, with Torino failing to register any attempts on goal throughout the match, according to channelnewsasia, reuters, and dawn.

However, the match was not without concern for Napoli, as they lost key players including Anguissa and defender Alessandro Buongiorno to injuries during the game. Their replacements, Philip Billing and Rafa Marin, saw limited action, with Billing notably hitting the crossbar shortly after coming on. Next, Napoli will face relegation-threatened Lecce, followed by matches against other lower-ranked teams, all of which are crucial as they pursue the scudetto, according to channelnewsasia, reuters, and dawn.
