It was a disappointing night for the Reds in the ​Champions League, as Liverpool fell to a 1-0 defeat to Carlo Ancelotti's Napoli. It was the Merseyside club's second defeat of the season, following their 2-1 loss to ​Chelsea in the Carabao Cup last week. The loss sees Liverpool drop to second in their group, one point behind Napoli, and level on points with PSG.


The Reds laboured for the full 90 minutes at the Stadio San Paolo, with their normally explosive attack just not clicking into gear.

Van Dijk in particular earned considerable praise on twitter from an array of ​Liverpool fans. Here are the pick of the bunch:

After their outstanding start to the season, Liverpool have slightly fallen back to earth this week.
