Dries Mertens scored his 99th and 100th Serie A goals over the weekend as Napoli defeated Roma 2-0.
Mertens (8.1) had been on a run of just one goal scored in 12 matches, but got on the scoresheet midway through the half with a cracking free kick sent into the right corner from 20 yards.
A few minutes later, he would claim his second with a header into an empty net following the assist from Matteo Politano.
