WATCH: Dries Mertens Bags NINE Minute Hat-Trick Against Joe Hart

Dries Mertens is a baller! Mertens has just bagged a nine minute hat-trick against Joe Hart making it back-to-back Serie A hat-tricks for the Belgium starlet.

Last Sunday, Napoli traveled to Cagliari and they thrashed the host 5-nil including a trio of goals from Mertens. And the attacker has only completed another hat-trick, this time needing just nine bloody minutes.

His first came after 13-minutes, where he slotted home after making a darting run into the box before converting a penalty kick making it a brace five minutes later. He then secured his hat-trick after pouncing on the rebound:

It's the first time a player has scored a hat-trick in consecutive Serie A games since the 1994/95 campaign. Take a bow, Dries!

Though spare a thought for Joe Hart...
