Liverpool lose to Fenerbahce as Como hit nine in stunning Champions League win
'We just need to get back to winning ways,' said Liverpool striker Alexander Isak.
Liverpool's perfect record in this season's Champions League came to an end with a 3-2 loss to Fenerbahce in Turkey on Wednesday. The young player, Trey Nyoni, scored Liverpool's opening goal, but Fenerbahce equalized through a deflected free-kick from Mason Greenwood. The Turkish Super Lig side, currently sitting sixth, came into the match with interim coach Dirk Kuyt.
Alex Isak and Archie Brown both scored for Liverpool, before Vedat Muriqi sealed the victory for Fenerbahce. Commenting on the result, Isak said, "We just need to get back to winning ways and if we win the next game, we are back to a really good position."
On a separate note, Como produced an incredible 9-1 away win over Lens in France, marking the third team since the modern UEFA Champions League began in 1992 to achieve an eight-goal margin. Anastasios Douvikas scored a hat-trick for the Italian side, becoming just the second team to score nine goals in a single match. Douvikas opened the scoring, followed by Nico Paz, Lucas Da Cunha, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Matteo Liberali, Ruben Aguilar, Martin Baturina, and Matteo Papaccioli.
The victory put Como fourth in the overall standings, three points behind Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, and one point behind Arsenal.
