Insigne burns Liverpool with last-minute winner

Lorenzo Insigne finished off a slick move in the 90th minute to give Napoli a late 1-0 win over Liverpool on Wednesday.

Insigne's effort capped a dominant performance against the misfiring Reds and vaulted the host into first in Group C with four points.

Liverpool also lost Naby Keita to an apparent back injury early in the first half. The bustling Guinean midfielder, who started his sixth match for his new club Wednesday, required a stretcher to leave the pitch.

Jurgen Klopp's men are now three matches without a win after claiming victory in each of their first seven fixtures of the campaign.

Napoli monopolized the majority of the chances at the Stadio San Paolo, while Liverpool tried to preserve a point. The visitors posed little, if any, attacking threat, failing to register a single shot on target in a Champions League match for the first time since February 2006.

Liverpool were forced to scramble just to stay in the match, with Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk each denying Insigne in the second half. And they were left thanking the gods when Dries Mertens rattled a close-range shot off the crossbar in the 82nd minute.

But Insigne gave the host a deserving win in the final stages of regular time, stretching to get a foot onto Jose Callejon's excellent pass before celebrating with Napoli's rabid supporters.
