Another ‘miracle’ in Istanbul – but this one hurt Liverpool
When it comes to comebacks, Liverpool and Istanbul have plenty of history - but this time Andoni Iraola's side made the wrong kind.
Liverpool suffered a rare Champions League upset loss at the hands of Fenerbahce in Istanbul, marking the third time this season that they led only to concede three goals and lose. Alexander Isak's second goal put Liverpool ahead, but Fenerbahce capitalized on set-pieces to pull two goals back, with Mason Greenwood and Archie Brown scoring.
The final goal came from Vedat Muriqi, who headed home a long throw-in. Interim boss Dirk Kuyt, a former Liverpool hero, praised Fenerbahce's spirit, but Liverpool must now regroup after a disappointing sequence of results.
