Late goals from Darwin Nunez and Mohammed Salah was enough for Liverpool to break the 17 match unbeaten run of Napoli on Tuesday night.
Even while Liverpool have to settle for 2nd place in UEFA Champions League Group A, they become the first team to beat the Serie A leader this season and the victory is expected to boost their morale as they set out for the Premier League clash against Spurs on Sunday.
Salah scrambles in the first goal over the line in the 85th minute after Alex Meret just about kept out substitute Nunez’s header.
Eventually, Nunez would later scored in the dead of the time, and even in the face of a lengthy VAR check, his rebounds efforts would later count for Jurgen Klopp as he recorded his 400th win for the club in the night.
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
The Serie A leader despite the loss still maintained their lead in the group with 3 goals difference advantage with same 15 points as Liverpool going into the round of 16 draw which hold on November 7.
Napoli had won 13 games in a row entering the match, including five from five in the Champions League with 20 goals scored.
It was really an off day for Osimhen who has scored seven goal in his last eight appearances for the team as Napoli managed just two shots on target in a game that could be seen that Spalleti boys threw caution to the wind
