GOLAZONEWSMcTominay double secures Napoli's first Champions League win against Bodø/Glimt
- Scott McTominay scored twice in his first goals since returning from heart surgery.
- Napoli defeated Bodø/Glimt 4-3 in a high-scoring Champions League encounter.
- The victory marks the Italian side's first win of the European campaign.
Napoli secured their first Champions League victory of the season with a 4-3 win over Bodø/Glimt. Scott McTominay was the central figure, scoring his first two goals of the campaign. The midfielder recently returned to action after missing a month of the season following a surgical procedure in early September to treat an irregular heartbeat.
The match began quickly as Matteo Politano opened the scoring in the first minute, though Jens Petter Hauge soon equalized for the Norwegian visitors. In addition to his two goals, McTominay also struck the woodwork during the match. The high-scoring affair featured goals in both the opening and closing minutes of play.
The result eases the pressure on Napoli manager Massimiliano Allegri. Elsewhere in the competition, a ten-man Atlético Madrid held on to a draw against Stuttgart.
