Napoli V Manchester City promised to be a feast of fine football and Lorenzo Insigne didn't disappoint as he combined beautifully with Dries Mertens to give the hosts the lead.

The Italy international picked the ball up wide on the left before exchanging passes with the Belgian and slotting past Ederson from six yards.

It was a lovely move that went to prove that Pep Guardiola's praise for Napoli pre-match was entirely deserved.

The goal took Insigne's tally to two in four games in the Champions League so far this season.
