The Egyptian shrugged off his marker to spin into the box in the 34th minute, before slipping Kalidou Koulibaly and poking through the legs of David Ospina.In truth, the margin of victory should’ve been greater for a dominant Liverpool side, but they were forced to suffer a tense finish as Napoli pushed to stay in the competition.Jose Callejon spurned a glorious opportunity to send the Reds crashing out ten minutes from time when he blasted over from a yard out.And there were moments when you wondered whether Liverpool would pay for their wastefulness, especially when Sadio Mane missed an 88th-minute tap-in.Liverpool survived late Napoli pressure2

A dramatic finish ensued, and Alisson was forced into a fantastic point-blank save fromArkadiusz Milik to spare Liverpool’s blushes, before Mane inexcusably missed again one-on-one with the keeper.Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain’s 4-1 victory at Red Star Belgrade means the Reds settle for second place in Group C.

Star Man

Salah proved he is the man for the big occasion, while Mane sort of did the opposite. Not only did the Egyptian provide the all-important moment to send his team through, he was comfortably the most dangerous man on the pitch.

Moment of the match

It was a victory made in Rome, not only through Salahs strike, but ex-Roma goalkeeper Alissons save at the death. It felt like a winning goal in itself.


Mohamed Salah's wonderful first-half goal gave Liverpool a 1-0 win over Napoli at Anfield, earning the Reds qualification from Group C of the Champions League at the visitors' expense.
