No Liverpool 'panic' after loss to Napoli - Van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk insists there will be no hangover from Liverpool's Champions League defeat to Napoli as there is no reason for panic following their first loss of the season.

The champions of Europe were on the wrong end of a 2-0 scoreline at Stadio San Paolo in Group E on Tuesday night, courtesy of a controversial penalty converted by Dries Mertens and a Fernando Llorente strike in added time.

The spot-kick, awarded on 82 minutes when referee Felix Brych felt Andy Robertson had impeded Jose Callejon despite the forward initiating contact, was highlighted as the game-changing moment by Van Dijk.
