Dries Mertens is good. Very, very good.

And he continued his prolific goal scoring ways with a delightful effort on Sunday night against bottom side Benevento in the Serie A.

Following Juventus' huge win over Sassuolo, Napoli had the chance to regain top spot. And thanks to goals from Mertens then Marek Hamsik, Maurizio Sarri's side went back to the summit of the league.

Sarri's men went ahead courtesy of a stunning individual goal from his influential Belgium ace.

He received the ball in the box before turning, twisting, eventually getting off a shot, delicately chipping the keeper.

What a goal, Dries. Take a bow.

Will Mertens still be in Naples by the end of the summer window? Watch this space.
