Liverpool secure two-goal win over Napoli

The game started with the Reds picking out their first big chance as Trent Alexander-Arnold linked well with Mohamed Salah down the right flank. The Egyptian ace found Curtis Jones at the far post, but the midfielder-turned-winger couldn't put his effort on target.

Napoli retaliated with a brilliant chance from Tanguy Ndombele, but the former Tottenham Hotspur man powered his shot straight at Liverpool's goalkeeper.

Another big chance came for the Reds soon after Partenopei's chance, with Roberto Firmino flicking back a cross for Jones. However, the youngster's effort was off target once again, glancing just over the bar.

The biggest highlight of the first half was James Milner's head injury, as the veteran midfielder clashed with Zambo Anguissa. Although he stayed on to end the first half, Milner was forced off just two minutes into the second half, with Liverpool bringing on Harvey Elliot in his place.

The big highlight of the second half was for the visitors, as an unfocused Reds defense conceded the first goal of the game, which was canceled by VAR. Leo Ostigard would have been the hero for Napoli, as it was his header that got the ball into the net, but the center-back was just offside.

As the match veered into its final minutes, both sides worked to find more chances, with neither side unable to dominate the proceedings with any ease. Both Alisson Becker and Alex Meret had to make important saves and recoveries for their sides.

Finally, Mohamed Salah scored the opening goal of the game in the 85th minute as Liverpool took advantage of a corner to put numbers in the box. Another corner saw the Napoli defense stumble, as Jurgen Klopp's men took full advantage and Darwin Nunez secured the second goal in injury time.

It wasn't enough to put the Reds in pole position in Group A, as Napoli consolidated the top spot with a better goal difference. However, the Reds will be pleased to have secured a win against an opponent that defeated them earlier in the season.
