Dries Mertens explained his rare headed goal as Napoli conquered Legia Warsaw 2-0 in the Europa League.

“We played well in the second half and it was difficult to do better in the first, as they were all pegged back behind the ball,” the Belgian told Sky Sport Italia.

The pint-sized winger managed to score with a header before Gonzalo Higuain’s solo symphony.

“We work on set plays a lot in training and the Coach always wants the winger to cut in with a cross to the near post. It’s even better when it happens during open play.

 

“We know that we have to do better away from home and proved what we can do tonight. We must continue like this and hope to do well against Milan at San Siro on Sunday.”
