Liverpool 2-0 Napoli: Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez net late on but Napoli finish top of Group A.Late goals from Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez helped Liverpool to a 2-0 win over Napoli but the Italians still finished top dogs in Champions League Group A.
With a lack of jeopardy on the game neither team really moved out of second gear as the chances of Liverpool overturning a four-goal swing to top the group never threatened to materialise.However, two Liverpool goals did come late on when Salah prodded home from close range after Nunez's header had been clawed off the line by goalkeeper Alex Meret before Nunez grabbed himself a goal, awarded by VAR, after tapping home from Virgil van Dijk's initial header which was saved.
Napoli thought Leo Ostigard had headed them in front on 53 minutes but VAR overturned the goal after a three-minute check that found the centre-back had been ahead of the play.For Liverpool, it was a far more positive night at Anfield than Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Leeds in the Premier League.Jurgen Klopp was delighted with how Liverpool restricted such a free-scoring team like Napoli.He said: "I would have enjoyed the game even without the goals but they are important stuff. We showed a really good reaction. Being compact makes all the difference. All of a sudden we have the challenges in the right spaces and we are difficult to play against.
Also See:"If you have seen what Napoli can do it was a really good game for us. I saw a lot of courage and bravery. Two set-pieces got us the points and to take 15 (points) in this group is absolutely insane."The last-16 draw, in which Liverpool will be unseeded, will be held at 12pm on Monday November 7.A step in the right direction for Liverpool...
It wasn't one of Klopp's epic European nights under the Anfield lights but it was a landmark one as he became the fourth Liverpool manager to reach 400 games in charge of the club, after Tom Watson, Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley.It's hard to know which Liverpool will turn up this season after an erratic run of results and it wasn't clear in this encounter for long periods.
Klopp's men played with sharpness for short bursts in the first half with Thiago testing the gloves of Meret from range and Curtis Jones - playing as part of the Liverpool front three - heading over following a clever flicked cross from Roberto Firmino.
Napoli are top of the table in Serie A and had won 13 consecutive matches in all competitions before this Anfield trip. They sensed their moment of making it 14 in a row and looked to have taken their chance from a set piece when Ostigard was left free to head home from six yards. However, after a VAR check of three minutes it was deemed that a part of his shoulder was in an offside position to the delight of the majority of Anfield.
The noise was lifted for a short period but with no real desperate urge to win the tie and
