Scott McTominay’s fairy tale first season at Napoli ended in the grandest way possible on Friday as he scored a fantastic scissor kick to help clinch the Serie A title for his side.
The former Manchester United man broke down in tears as the celebrations began in Naples following the club’s 2-0 victory against Cagliari.

CBS Sports analyst and former American soccer player, Mike Grella, has called out Christian Pulisic for not being more 'selfish' when it came to taking AC Milan's penalty kick during their tough 2-1 loss to Napoli on Sunday.
The match, which saw the Rossoneri drop to ninth in Serie A, featured a controversial moment when Pulisic (perhaps the club's most efficient penalty taker) handed the ball to Santiago Gimenez, who ultimately missed the spot kick.
Napoli have signed Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea, the Serie A club said on Thursday.
Financial details of the transfer were not revealed by either club but British media reported Napoli paid $39.47 million for the 31-year-old.

TURIN — Juventus delivered an efficient performance as they moved back to provisional top spot in Serie A on Friday, securing a 1-0 home win against a wasteful Napoli thanks to a header from Federico Gatti.
Juve had their best chance of the first half when Dusan Vlahovic's close-range attempt was blocked by Natan, and Weston McKennie's subsequent rebound with an overhead kick was denied by Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret.
