Scott McTominay scored twice as Napoli beat Bodo/Glimt 4-3 in the Champions League, his first goals since undergoing heart surgery.
The Scotland midfielder missed four games last month after a procedure on a benign heart arrhythmia.
Matteo Politano put Napoli ahead inside a minute before Jens Petter Hauge equalised. McTominay restored the lead before half-time, running on to a Kevin De Bruyne pass and chipping the goalkeeper.
Andreas Helmersen levelled again after the hour, but McTominay headed in his second 15 minutes from time. An own goal from Odin Bjortuft gave Napoli breathing space before Sondre Fet pulled one back late on.
McTominay was named player of the match. The win gives Napoli their first points of the campaign after defeats by Arsenal and Villarreal. They travel to Porto on 4 November.
