Napoli edged past Cagliari at Unipol Domus to rack up a fourth straight league win on Friday evening.
Scott McTominay – making his return to the starting line-up – scored what turned out to be the only goal of the game with barely 60 seconds on the clock, poking home through a crowd following a corner. It was the Scot's seventh league goal of the campaign and his 11th overall this season.
The Azzurri had several chances to double their lead but ended up seeing out the game to put another three points on the board
