LOAN WATCH: Liverpool's Pepe Reina keeps clean sheet as Napoli defeat Torino

Liverpool's Pepe Reina continued his brilliant form for loan club Napoli on the weekend as his clean sheet helped steered the side to a 2-0 victory over Torino at the San Paolo.

Gonzalo Higuain's two first half penalties proved to be the difference in a match that was dominated by the home side who kept their second place on the Serie A ladder, ahead of Juventus on goal difference, and five points behind Roma.

Despite Torino only managing three shots on target for the game, they should have had a goal just before half-time., however, Reina managed to keep out Alessio Cerci's effort to accumulate his fifth clean sheet for the season.
