Dries Mertens is eternal. Against Lazio, the Red Devil scored another splendid goal. A short week after his praline against Inter Milan. If he had shot from far against the Nerrazzuri, this time he used his quality of dribbling to register his second achievement in the league.
With a devastating short hook, he mystified his opponent and got back to goal. Olympian calm, he then easily adjusted the opposing goalkeeper. Enough to allow his club to score the second goal of the evening after only nine short minutes of play.
Obviously in legs, the Drieske festival did not stop there. Twenty short minutes after his masterpiece, he put the table back on. With one of his specials: shooting from outside the box. Found indented to the right, the Devil placed a curled shot from the right that overcame former teammate Pepe Reina. Enough to register his 139 goal for Naples and to write a little more his legend at Armando Diego Maradona Stadium.
After the injury of Victor Osimhen for three months, the little Belgian elf should have several opportunities to shine. A good omen after a complicated start to the championship where he was often on the bench.
