(Video) James Milner silly handball gifts Napoli opener vs Liverpool within five minutes

Liverpool have conceded early on at Napoli after James Milner conceded a penalty within five minutes of the contest.

Jurgen Klopp, who has achieved a great deal at Anfield, both domestically and in Europe, has a truly terrible record facing Napoli away from home.

He will have been intent on correcting that tonight, but within five minutes of the game, Liverpool found themselves a goal down from the spot.

James Milner attempted to block a goal-bound effort, with his hand, and in the age of VAR, you are never going to get away with something like that.

Poland international Piotr Zieliński stepped up to the mark, and despite Alisson Becker being a HUGE figure in the Liverpool goal, he couldn’t stop it.

Liverpool have a lot of work to do in Naples to avoid suffering a defeat in their first fixture of this Champions League campaign…
