Champions League holder Liverpool was brought crashing back down to earth, starting the defense of its title with a 2-0 defeat by Napoli
Dries Mertens' penalty and Fernando Llorente's late goal following an uncharacteristic Virgin van Dijk error consigned the Reds to a fourth successive defeat on the road in the Champions League group stages.Liverpool came into the match in fine form and with an air of invincibility, winning all five of its Premier League games so far this season and showing no signs of a Champions League hangover.
The second half was far more even and Liverpool did eventually get a foothold in the game to begin dominating. Kalidou Koulibaly puts in an unorthodox challenge to halt Mohamed Salah.The pace of Mo Salah and Sadio Mane was also proving to be a headache for Napoli on the counterattack, with the Senegalese forward squandering a glorious opportunity to play his teammate in on goal.
