Liverpool 0-3 Napoli: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Gli Azzurri Pick Apart Lethargic Reds

Liverpool continued their disappointing run of pre-season results with a 3-0 defeat against Napoli on Sunday afternoon.

Both sides struggled to build any sort of momentum during the opening exchanges, but Napoli were able to open the scoring after 17 minutes through Lorenzo Insigne. The Italian jinked his way into a pocket of space outside the Liverpool 18-yard-box before curling the ball into the far corner, beyond the reach of Simon Mignolet.

Napoli then doubled their lead just over 10 minutes later as Arkadiusz Milik got on the end of a pin-point cross from Dries Mertens to guide the ball home.
