Lorenzo Insigne scores late as Napoli defeat drab Liverpool

Lorenzo Insigne swooped for a late winner as Napoli defeated Liverpool 1-0 in Wednesday night's Champions League clash.

Napoli dominated the second half as substitute Dries Mertens also deflected an effort on to the cross bar.

The hosts had the better chances throughout as Fabian Ruiz and Arkadiusz Milik had shots saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.

Jose Callejon's volley was also kept out later in the second half.

Liverpool's best effort came via Mohamed Salah, who shot wide after the break, but Jurgen Klopp's side failed to record a single effort on target in Italy.
