Scott McTominay strikes twice as Napoli beat Bodø/Glimt 4-3

Scott McTominay and Napoli took a big Champions League step by beating Bodø/Glimt 4-3, with the Scot delivering a decisive brace that eased pressure on coach Massimiliano Allegri. McTominay scored for the first time this season, added a strike off the post, and played a central role in Napoli’s turnaround after conceding.

Matteo Politano put Napoli ahead in the opening minute, only for Jens Petter Hauge to level for the Norwegian side. McTominay restored the lead before half-time, but Andreas Helmersen answered to make it 2-2 again. The decisive swing came after the hour mark: McTominay found the net on 71 minutes, and Odin Bjørtuft’s late own goal sealed the win, with Bodø still grabbing an injury-time consolation through Sondre Brunstad Fet.

McTominay was returning from a surgical procedure in early September for an irregular heartbeat and missed about a month, as The Guardian reported. Elsewhere in the roundup, Atlético Madrid held Stuttgart to a 1-1 draw, with Julián Álvarez cancelling out Jamie Leweling’s opener after Morten Hjulmand’s reckless challenge earned a red card.
