Manchester City hit four past Napoli to qualify for round of 16

Manchester City came out on top in a thrilling 4-2 win against Napoli in Champions League Group F on Wednesday that qualifies them for the round of 16.

Maurizio Sarri's high-pressing Serie A side had the better of possession early, but Man City were able to soak up the pressure and play the ball out of the back and hit Napoli on the counter-attack, making for an entertaining opening 20 minutes in which neither team fashioned any real chances.

But that changed seconds after the 20-minute mark when Lorenzo Insigne curled a shot past Ederson after being played into the area with a lovely first-time pass from Dries Mertens.
