SALZBURG, Austria (Reuters) - Lorenzo Insigne gave Napoli a thrilling 3-2 win away to Salzburg in the Champions League on Wednesday after Dries Mertens twice gave the Serie A side the lead only for Norwegian teenager Erling Haaland to equalise for the Austrian champions each time.

Mertens's brace took his tally for Napoli to 116 goals and he overtook Diego Maradona as the club's second highest scorer behind Marek Hamsik.

Haaland had the ball in the net for Salzburg after nine minutes but it was ruled offside following a VAR consultation. But the Serie A side were then subjected to a period of sustained Salzburg pressure as goalkeeper Alex Meret pulled off three outstanding saves in quick succession. Salzburg finally got their equaliser five minutes before halftime when Haaland converted a penalty after Hee-Chan Hwang was tripped by Kevin Malcuit.
