Napoli sealed the Serie A title on Friday after beating Cagliari 2-0 to hold off Inter Milan and win the Italian championship for the fourth time.

Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku netted at a packed and wild Stadio Diego Armando Maradona as Napoli secured their second league crown in three seasons on the final day of the season.

Napoli finished the season a point ahead of closest rivals Inter Milan who won 2-0 at Como, the outgoing champions opponents having to play half the match with 10 men after goalkeeper Pepe Reina was sent off just before half-time of his last ever match.

Inters win meant nothing as another Scudetto party was kicked off in Naples by the fans new heroes McTominay and Lukaku.

Scotland midfielder McTominays 12th goal of his first Serie A season, three minutes before half-time, was a fitting way for Napoli to break the deadlock as he has been the symbol of the teams renewal under coach Antonio Conte.
