Football, Serie A: Inter-Napoli 2-2

Milan, Jan. 11 (LaPresse) – Scott McTominay draws level twice against Inter and keeps Napoli’s Scudetto chances alive. At San Siro it ends 2-2 with the Scot as the protagonist. Unfortunately for him in the 9th minute, when he fails to hold onto a ball that sparks the move leading to the Nerazzurri opener scored by Dimarco. But the former Manchester player does not lose heart and in the 27th minute gets in ahead of everyone on a cross from Elmas to make it 1-1. In the 73rd minute Inter go ahead again with a penalty awarded for a step on foot by Rahmani on Mkhitaryan, which leads to Conte being sent off for protests. Çalhanoğlu steps up to the spot and does not miss. It seems over, but it is not. It is the 81st minute when Politano crosses from the right. The pass is not precise but Lang manages to put it back into the middle just before the ball goes out. McTominay collects the assist and beats Sommer for the second time. Inter therefore fail to pull away from Napoli and remain at +4 in the standings.
