Mohamed Salah made a point of telling Jurgen Klopp his favourite position after Liverpool scored twice late on to beat Napoli 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Salah broke the deadlock in the 85th minute at Anfield when he stabbed home after Darwin Nunez’s header had been saved by Alex Meret. And Liverpool doubled their lead deep into injury-time when Nunez repeated the trick from Virgil van Dijk’s initial effort.
It was a solid performance from Liverpool, who kept Napoli at bay and became the first team to beat them in 21 games – a run which stretched back to April. Klopp made four changes from the team which was beaten 2-1 by Leeds on Saturday and returned to his trademark 4-3-3 formation, with Salah on the right, Roberto Firmino in the middle and Curtis Jones on the left.
