Napoli surged seven points clear at the top of Serie A with a stunning 2-0 victory over AC Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday night.

Antonio Conte‘s side are firing thanks to the help of his Scotland stars.

Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay were brought to the club by the ex-Chelsea and Tottenham boss this summer, and fans have already fallen in love.

Conte’s reaction to Gilmour when he came off in the final minute of the game says it all.

He gave the former Chelsea and Brighton midfielder a huge hug as he walked off the pitch, like a proud father.

The Italian media report that Conte said to Gilmour: “Well done. What a match you played, top!”

The Scotland international took his chance following an injury to regular starter Lobotka.

He may now find it hard to get back in the side with Gilmour starring alongside McTominay.

The former Man United man is already loving life in Naples, with fans giving him the nickname of ‘McTotally’.

“I can’t talk enough about the fans, the people, the city and the welcome that my team-mates and coaches gave me,” he said previously.

Romelu Lukaku and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia were on the scoresheet in the huge win at the San Siro to move them seven points clear of their main rivals Inter Milan.

“Romelu Lukaku rejected bids from Premier League clubs to wait for us and join Napoli in August,” Conte told DAZN.

“He strongly wanted to work with us again and this is fantastic. He’s an excellent guy, top player.”

He added: “This is one of the best groups I have had in my career.

“Everyone looks at the same goal, even between me and the club and the whole environment we have created in Castel Yolturno from the warehouseman to the gardener.

“I breathe beautiful and clean air, passion and enthusiasm. When I happen to find this type of situation I live it with passion.”

Tottenham were also bizarrely in his firing line after being asked a question about his former club.

“I think I did very, very well at Spurs,” he told DAZN.

“I arrived with the squad in 9th position and we qualified to Champions League.

“I’m sure I did the best job possible for Tottenham. I can’t do miracles.”

Next up for Napoli are fifth place Atalanta on Sunday.
