Roma 0-2 Napoli: Mertens with both goals

Dries Mertens scored both goals - and both in the first half - as the visitors picked up an important win at the Stadio Olimpico.

The Giallorossi, after a slow start, tried to claw their way back into the match in the second half, as Lorenzo Pellegrini went close on a number of occasions.

However, a goal that could have given them a route back into the match proved elusive.

Paulo Fonseca's side now have a two-week wait until their next match due to the international break - they travel to face Sassuolo on April 3.
