Former Manchester United midfielder, Scott McTominay was pictured on Thursday night, September 26, kissing the badge on the jersey of his new club.
The gesture has left both fans of Napoli and lots of football lovers in awe. Well, this came after the Scot scored his first goal for the club following his move to Italy during the last transfer window.
The goal was assisted by Romelu Lukaku, who is equally his team mate during their days at Manchester United. The goal which came in the 77th minute is one of the five goals which condemned Palermo to 5-0 defeat in the hands of Napoli in the Coppa Italia.
The 27 Year old McTominay made his third appearance for Napoli since joining them in August 2024 from Manchester United in a deal worth about twenty seven million, seven hundred thousand pounds, £25.7million.
So, it was a precious and special goal for the him after an excellent performance in the match, to the delight of both his coach, Antonio Conte and Napoli management.
Palermo currently play in the Serie B division of the Italian league struggled through out the duration of the game, showing that there were no match for their opponent. Within twelve minutes of play, Palermo were already down by two goals scored by Cyril Ngonge.
Then Juan Jesus ensured the game ended 3-0 in the first half. Early in the second half, precisely in the 58th minute, Palermo had their player, Aljosa Basic, red carded, further decimating their already weak team.
Their further vulnerability gave room for Napoli’s 4th goal from David Neres in the 70th minute, before McTominay who came in as a second half substitute made it five (5).
And his former United teammate, Lukaku who assisted him wasn’t on the score sheet for the night. But already has two goals from four games since joining the club from Chelsea for a fee in the region of £30m last August.
