Scott McTominay singled out for special Napoli praise by boss

Scott McTominay was singled out for some special praise by Napoli boss Antonio Conte following their latest win last night.

The Scotland star has played a key role in helping to keep the Naples club top of Serie A.

He played in his usual advanced midfield role as Napoli defeated Hellas Verona 2-0 on Sunday.

Post-match, Conte was keen to single out two of his summer additions, McTominay and Romelu Lukaku, as Napoli continued to push in their charge for the title.

He told Dazn: "There have certainly been changes since the beginning of the summer, especially as I'm still trying to find the right tactics for this team.

"The arrival of Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku, in particular, has made a big difference to the switch to 4-3-3.

"We tried a couple of different formations before we settled on this one. There is more confidence now, and the whole squad is involved."

Napoli sit four points clear of nearest challengers Inter Milan at the summit of Serie A, albeit Inter boast two games in hand.
