Liverpool fought back from a goal down to draw with Napoli and all but secure qualification for the Champions League knockout stages.

If Liverpool avoid defeat in Salzburg in their next match, the title holders will assure qualification from their group.

The Reds were not at their best and missed Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back, and conceded an early goal to Napoli forward Dries Mertens.

But the Italian side failed to add to their lead and were pegged back when defender Dejan Lovren headed James Milner’s corner over Alex Meret.

The point keeps Liverpool top of Champions League Group E. Here are our player ratings.
