Match Highlights

42′. 0:1. GOAL! Mo scores! Henderson collets on the right and plays a precision pass just inside the box to No.11 who sees the goalkeeper off his line and curls it beyond him with his first touch.

49′. 0:2. GOAL! Andy Robertson delivers the corner and Darwin Nunez runs across the penalty spot and header in off the far post.

52′. 0:3. GOAL! Game over! Mo Salah plays a lovely pass in behind the defence to Harvey Elliott, and young midfielder fires on his weaker right foot, from a tight angle, high into the top right corner of the net.

Liverpool won the match, took 3 points and advanced to the knockout stages. The draw for the knockout stages takes place in Switzerland, a week on Monday, November 7, but before that, Napoli travel to Anfield.
