Odds

Tottenham to win: 11/4

Barcelona to win: Evens

Draw: 13/5

Napoli 1 - 0 Liverpool

Napoli nick the match in the last minute, Liverpool have played poorly and have been punished harshly. They looked as though they had settled for a point and Insigne put the ball in the back of the net to make it a terrible night in Italy for the Reds

Tottenham are struggling in Group B now. Both Barcelona and Inter Milan have moved onto 6 points apiece with Spurs on 0. Their next match against PSV Eindhoven is now a crucial one, anything less than three points could effectively put their Champions League campaign to an early end.

As for Liverpool they drop down into second in Group C as Napoli move into first place. They didn't play well tonight and they got what they deserved. A relatively easy match against Red Star Belgrade awaits them next and they'll be looking to put this defeat behind them and get back to winning ways.
