Napoli beat Bodø/Glimt 4-3 at the Maradona for their first Champions League points of the season. They had lost their first two games, at home to Arsenal and away at Villarreal, and came into this off a 1-0 defeat at Venezia that left them tenth in Serie A.
54 seconds
Leonardo Spinazzola crossed from the left and Matteo Politano volleyed into the roof of the net after 54 seconds. According to Sky Sport Italia it is Napoli's fastest goal in this season's competition.
Bodø/Glimt equalised on 27 minutes, Jens Petter Hauge finishing from the left of the box after Sondre Fet's pass.
McTominay
On 41 minutes Kevin De Bruyne, playing deeper than usual, set up Scott McTominay to put Napoli back in front. Andreas Helmersen levelled again on 62, again from Fet's pass.
McTominay settled it on 75, heading in Politano's cross. They were his first goals of the season and his first since a heart procedure in September. UEFA named him player of the match.
"I gol danno fiducia, ho iniziato un programma per ritrovare il massimo della forma," McTominay told Sky. Goals give you confidence; I have started a programme to get back to full fitness. On De Bruyne: "È un giocatore incredibile."
Odin Bjørtuft turned the ball into his own net on 88 for 4-2, and Fet headed in from a corner in the fourth minute of stoppage time to make it 4-3.
Allegri
Massimiliano Allegri was not satisfied. "Abbiamo sbagliato diverse situazioni ad inizio gara, in Champions non è facile," he said. We got several situations wrong early on, the Champions League is not easy. "Con un passaggio non ci possono tagliare fuori quattro calciatori." One pass cannot cut out four of our players.
He was frank about his side's fitness. "Dopo i gol tendiamo a chiuderci troppo ma è dato anche dalla condizione di alcuni giocatori. Anguissa ha fatto 60 minuti, McTominay ha fatto due gol ma non è ancora il vero Scott." After scoring we drop too deep, partly because of some players' condition; McTominay scored twice but he is not yet the real Scott.
Politano
Politano, who made a costly mistake at Villarreal, had his say. "Oggi sono contento perché ho fatto gol e assist," he said: today I am happy because I scored and assisted. "Prendiamo imbucate troppo facilmente." We let through balls in too easily.
Bodø/Glimt
Bodø/Glimt had more of the ball and, according to Sofascore, the better expected goals. Coach Kjetil Knutsen said conceding inside a minute had cut his side's legs from under them, and that Napoli's third goal was the decisive moment.
Both sides have three points from three games. Napoli face Roma at the weekend.
