Dries Mertens’ penalty and a late Fernando Llorente goal condemned Liverpool to defeat in their Group E Champions League opener against SSC Napoli.

Mertens scored from the penalty spot after Liverpool defender Andy Robertson was judged to have fouled Jose Callejon.

The Former Tottenham forward Llorente then capitalised on a mistake from Virgil van Dijk in stoppage-time to roll the ball past Liverpool keeper Adrian. This defeat has thus made Jurgen Klopp’s side the first defending Champions of the competition to lose the opening game of the following campaign since AC Milan in 1994.
