Liverpool received a taste of their own medicine as Napoli scored a 90th-minute winner to inflict a 1-0 defeat on Jurgen Klopp's side in the Stadio San Paolo.

Two weeks ago the Reds snatched a winner of their own deep into added time to beat Paris St Germain but the tables were turned in Naples with Lorenzo Insigne sliding home from close range 30 seconds from the end of normal time.

In truth the hosts, who also hit the crossbar through substitute Dries Mertens, deserved it having dominated against a Liverpool side putting in one of their worst performances under Klopp.

Napoli 1 - 0 Liverpool

Napoli nick the match in the last minute, Liverpool have played poorly and have been punished harshly. They looked as though they had settled for a point and Insigne put the ball in the back of the net to make it a terrible night in Italy for the Reds

Tottenham are struggling in Group B now. Both Barcelona and Inter Milan have moved onto 6 points apiece with Spurs on 0. Their next match against PSV Eindhoven is now a crucial one, anything less than three points could effectively put their Champions League campaign to an early end.

As for Liverpool they drop down into second in Group C as Napoli move into first place. They didn't play well tonight and they got what they deserved. A relatively easy match against Red Star Belgrade awaits them next and they'll be looking to put this defeat behind them and get back to winning ways.
