  "account": "Fenerbahce staged a remarkable comeback to secure a 3-2 victory over former club Liverpool in Istanbul, providing a much-needed boost to their Champions League campaign. Liverpool had won their first three European games under manager Andoni Iraola, but a sloppy defending error cost them dearly. Trey Nyoni and substitute Alexander Isak put the visitors in front twice. A spectacular goal from Muriqi, despite being surrounded by three Liverpool defenders, sealed the win, leaving Liverpool with a heavy loss. The defeat leaves Liverpool vulnerable, as they now sit behind Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League table. Iraola expressed disappointment, acknowledging the need for his team to bounce back.",
