Ancelotti revels in well-timed winner following Liverpool scalp

The Napoli boss was particularly pleased with the manner of his side's triumph against last season's runners-up

Carlo Ancelotti said he was happy with Napoli's last-gasp Champions League victory over Liverpool as he had less time to worry.

Lorenzo Insigne was the hero in Naples, where Napoli got their European campaign on track thanks to the star forward's 90th-minute winner on Wednesday.

Last season's runners-up Liverpool were below their best throughout the Group C clash as Napoli – who were held to a goalless draw by Red Star Belgrade on matchday one – claimed a deserved three points after Dries Mertens rattled the crossbar moments earlier.
