Liverpool vs Napoli result: Reds thrashed by Lorenzo Insigne inspired Italians in Edinburgh

Relive all the action from the pre-season friendly at Murrayfield

Liverpool victory bus greets thousands of fans in city centre

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:

Liverpool 0-0 Napoli

6 minutes

Liverpool are on the front foot in the early stages at Murrayfield. The first chance of the game falls to Divock Origi but he can't apply the finish.

Liverpool 0-0 Napoli

10 minutes

Simon Mignolet is forced into his first save of the game as Simone Verdi cuts in from the right and curls a shot towards the top left corner. Liverpool's rangy goalkeeper is made to stretch but saves it comfortably.

Liverpool 0-0 Napoli

14 minutes

Some fine play out the back from Napoli, who initially don't panic under pressure from Liverpool, but that changes in a moment as the Serie A side's defence nearly gives the ball away on the edge of their box.

GOAL FOR NAPOLI! INSIGNE GIVES THE ITALIAN SIDE THE LEAD!

Liverpool 0-1 Napoli

17 minutes

A patient build-up from Liverpool finds Origi deep in Napoli's half, but the striker miscontrols the ball and Napoli break. Lorenzo Insigne runs at the Liverpool defence, cuts onto his right and fires a precise shot into the bottom corner to Mignolet's left!

Liverpool 0-1 Napoli

20 minutes

Liverpool are back in possession, but are struggling to really mount much of an attack right now. Napoli are content for Jurgen Klopp's side to have the ball in their own half.

Liverpool 0-1 Napoli

21 minutes

Origi goes down in the middle of the pitch and curls up, seemingly in quite some pain. The Belgian takes a minute, but is up on his feet again.

Liverpool 0-1 Napoli

22 minutes

Van Dijk and Fabinho are looking to dictate most of Liverpool's play, but there's too much distance between them and the European champions' forward players.

Joel Matip blocks a long-range Napoli effort and Carlo Ancelotti's team have a corner.
