Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay scored a stunning scissor-kick volley to help Napoli clinch their fourth Serie A title after a dramatic 2-0 win over Cagliari at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

With Inter Milan winning 2-0 at Como, Napoli needed nothing less than a victory to secure the championship. Backed by a roaring home crowd, they delivered in style.

McTominay, who joined Napoli from Manchester United in a £25.7 million move last August, opened the scoring with a spectacular finish from Matteo Politano’s cross, capping off a dominant start by the hosts.

Romelu Lukaku sealed the win with a powerful run and calm finish past goalkeeper Alen Sherri, igniting wild celebrations. Substitutes and coaches stormed the pitch, and Lukaku earned a yellow card for taking off his shirt.

Napoli comfortably saw out the rest of the match, basking in the festive atmosphere. This marks their first title since 2022-23 and adds to previous triumphs in 1986-87 and 1989-90.

McTominay’s impact was undeniable throughout the season, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists. He was named Serie A Player of the Season immediately after the final whistle.
