Watch as Scott McTominay sends the Scotland fans wild with an acrobatic lead in the decisive World Cup qualifier against Denmark, very similar to the strike that won Napoli the Scudetto.
Scotland had assumed they were heading to the play-offs until a surprise result when Denmark were held to a 2-2 draw by Belarus.
That set up a huge showdown in Glasgow this evening, with the hosts knowing they could snatch top spot and direct 2026 World Cup qualification with a victory.
It took three minutes to break the deadlock, as Ben Gannon-Doak crossed from the right for the extraordinary McTominay overhead kick, taking flight to surprise Kasper Schmeichel.

This will be familiar to Napoli fans, because it was with a similar goal that the midfielder sealed their Serie A title against Cagliari last season.
