Watch as Scott McTominay towers above the Udinese defenders to give Napoli the lead, cancelled out by a stunning Jurgen Ekkelenkamp strike.
The Scotland international had some making up to do, as moments earlier he had missed a sitter from point-blank range at the back post.
He gave an immediate response by leaping into the air well beyond the opponents around him to nod in Politano’s corner.
It was his sixth Serie A goal of the season, the seventh including the Coppa Italia, along with four assists.

McTominay is now on the verge of equalling his personal best of seven Premier League goals for Manchester United in 2023-24.

However, Udinese responded within three minutes at the Stadio Maradona, as Pasquale Mazzocchi scrambled to avoid a throw-in, allowing Udinese to continue their attack.
There was still a lot of work to be done, as Ekkelenkamp hit a viciously swerving strike from outside the box into the far bottom corner.
“Ohhhhhh what a goal that is!” Udinese are back in it, levelling the scores with a worldie strike from Ekkelenkamp 🚀
