McTominay stars in Napoli draw that leaves Allegri 'not lucid enough' to talk

McTominay scored twice in Napoli's 3-3 draw with Roma, with Matías Soulé also impressing for the visitors in an entertaining Serie A encounter.

Scott McTominay marked his return to form with two goals as Napoli drew 3-3 with Roma in an entertaining Serie A clash at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday. McTominay, who had missed September recovering from a heart ablation procedure, opened the scoring in the 48th minute after a determined effort involving multiple attempts at goal, building on Frank Anguissa's overhead kick. He added a second from distance in the 75th minute after Roma had equalized twice through Leonardo Balerdi's headers.

Roma's Matías Soulé delivered a standout performance, scoring once and assisting in the draw. The 23-year-old Argentine forward, signed from Frosinone in summer 2024, has increasingly stepped out of Paulo Dybala's shadow this season. Manager Gian Piero Gasperini praised Soulé's impact, calling him the team's driving force.

The result leaves Napoli showing signs of improvement after a difficult start to the season. McTominay's return has coincided with better performances, including a 4-3 Champions League win over Bodø/Glimt midweek, though manager Massimiliano Allegri's position had come under scrutiny following earlier defeats.
