Liverpool ratings: Salah's 8/10 performance ends Napoli's winning streak in Champions League

Liverpool struck two late goals to sink Napoli and end the Italian side's club-record 21-game unbeaten run in all competitions with a 2-0 defeat at Anfield. The result also ended a 13-game winning streak for Napoli.

With both sides already through to the UEFA Champions League knockout stages, Liverpool started brightly as Curtis Jones dinked just over from Mohamed Salah's threaded pass. Napoli responded and thought they'd taken the lead, but VAR chalked off Leo Ostigard's second-half bullet header after a very long wait to deny the defender his second goal in as many Champions League appearances.

The tie then seemed to fizzle out, but just when it looked destined to end goalless, Salah popped up to convert Darwin Nunez's header at the back post, before Nunez poached one of his own with a last-gasp tap-in.
