FROSINONE, Italy (Reuters) - Napoli pushed Frosinone towards relegation with a 2-0 away victory in Serie A on Sunday as Dries Mertens equalled Diego Maradona’s league scoring record.
The Belgian’s superb first-half free kick was his 81st league strike for Napoli, sending him level with the Argentine at number three in the club's all-time Serie A scoring charts, behind Antonio Vojak and Marek Hamsik .
Frosinone, in 19th place, are now 10 points adrift of the safety zone with four rounds remaining and their relegation will be confirmed if Genoa earn at least a point away to SPAL on Sunday and Udinese win away to Atalanta on Monday. That led fans to produce a banner in the city centre on Saturday night that read: “Carletto the latest chosen one to take the fans for a ride with no real project."
The lively Younes doubled his side’s lead early in the second half, skipping past his marker before sliding a composed finish into the bottom corner.
