Scott McTominay scored his seventh goal of the season but the Scotland internationalist’s exploits were not enough to give Napoli all three points in their Serie A match with Udinese.

McTominay has become a firm favourite with the Napoli fans since his £25 million move from Manchester United last summer and he continued his excellent form by opening the scoring in Sunday night’s match with Udinese, rising highest to head home a corner kick from Matteo Politano on 37 minutes.

However, the league leaders were unable to hold on to their lead for very long, with Udinese levelling three minutes later through their Dutch midfielder Jurgen Ekkelenkamp.
