Udinese shock comeback stuns Liverpool

Trailing 1-0 at halftime at Anfield, Udinese stunned the five-time European champions with a second-half fightback sparked by Antonio Di Natale's well-taken equalizer and completed by Giovanni Pasquale's drilled finish that proved to be the winning goal.

“We can't have to score three, four or five goals to win games,” said Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, bemoaning defensive sloppiness that has plagued his team so far this season. “We're just disappointed after such a good first half to give away such poor goals in the second half to leave us chasing the game.”

Anzhi Makhachkala is level on four points with Udinese at the top of Group A thanks to a 2-0 win over Young Boys, courtesy of a brace by veteran Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o.

Inter scored all its goals in the first half in a 3-1 win at Neftci of Azerbaijan to leave Andrea Stramaccioni's side level on four points in Group H with Rubin Kazan, which beat Partizan Belgrade 2-0.

Lazio heads Group J on four points following a 1-0 home win over Maribor of Slovenia but Tottenham is languishing in third place after conceding a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw at struggling Panathinaikos.

The only dampener on the night for Serie A clubs was Napoli's 3-0 loss at PSV Eindhoven. That result ceded top spot in Group F to Dnipro and came as a surprise given a 4-0 win over AIK Solna by Walter Mazzarri's side two weeks ago and its strong start to Serie A, where the team is unbeaten in second place.
