Liverpool 1-0 Napoli: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Mohamed Salah Sends Liverpool Through to Last 16

Liverpool progressed to the Last 16 of the Champions League as they defeated Napoli, thanks to Mohamed Salah's first-half strike and a wonder save by Alisson in injury time.

The first chance of the game fell to Liverpool in the sixth minute, as Salah was played through on goal. However, his touch let him down for once and the ball trickled into David Ospina's arms.

Liverpool had the ball in the back of the net in the 21st minute, but the goal was correctly disallowed with Sadio Mané in an offside position.

However, Jürgen Klopp's side were not to be denied and they took a deserved lead in the 33rd minute as Salah spun past Mario Rui and finished between David Ospina's legs, who should have done much better in truth.
