Liverpool vs Napoli result: Reds thrashed by Lorenzo Insigne inspired Italians in Edinburgh
Relive all the action from the pre-season friendly at Murrayfield
A Lorenzo Insigne inspired Napoli thrashed Liverpool 3-0 at Murrayfield on a somewhat disheartening day for the Reds, despite it only being a pre-season friendly.
Carlo Ancelotti's side enjoyed a fine start to the match as Insigne scored a brilliant goal after just 17 minutes, weaving past two challenges before thrashing past Simon Mingolet. And, before the match could even reach the half-hour mark, Arkadiusz Milik tucked home a low cross with a cute finish into the far corner to see the Italians take a clear ascendancy.
Any threat of a second-half fightback was promptly extinguished when Amin Younes tapped in from close range after some more fine work by Insigne. Relive all the action below:
