Dries Mertens made Naples happy by scoring a double on Wednesday night in Italy's 3-1 win against Belgrade Red Star. Thanks to these two goals, the Red Devil not only becomes the best Belgian striker in the history of the Champions League with 11 goals (1 in the play-offs) but also reaches the 100 goals mark under the shirt of Naples. The club record, held by Marek Hamsik (121 goals) is not very far.
It was also the Slovak captain of the 'Partenopei' who opened the scoring in this meeting in the 11th minute on a corner kicked by Mertens and extended by Nikola Maksimovic. The Red Devil shook the nets for the first time after half an hour of playing a delightful foot outside which he is used to (33rd). In the second half, he then took advantage of a nice pbad in depth of Hamsik to stand in front of the goalkeeper and overcome with a lobed shot in the skylight (52).
Ben El Fardou was responsible for reducing the gap to the 57th.
Naples are now alone in Group C with 9 points, one more than Paris Saint-Germain and three more than Liverpool. The English will have to win with at least two goals clear against the Neapolitans in two weeks at Anfield.
Dominant, Tottenham logically won 1-0 against Inter at Wembley on the 5th day. The Spurs were back to the wall and forced to win.
So they took the game in hand, creating the best opportunities with including a shot on the bar Harry Winks in the first period. The liberating goal fell to the 80th on a Sissoko breakthrough that sowed chaos in the rectangle before serving Dele Alli, himself in attendance for Christian Eriksen.
On the side of the Spurs, Toby Aldeweireld was holding alongside Jan Vertonghen, returning after two months of absence. Mousa Dembele, still wounded, was absent.
Opposite, Radja Nainggolan started the game but had to leave the pitch just before the break due to muscle pain after a tackle.
In the standings, Barcelona leads with 13 points ahead of Tottenham and Inter who have 7 points. The PSV is last with a point.
