Fenerbahce stage comeback to beat Liverpool in five-goal Champions League clash

The visitors started the first half brightly, controlling the tempo with Victor Munoz squandering an early chance before forcing the Turkish side to defend against numerous corner kicks.

Liverpool eventually took the lead through Trey Nyoni's 25th minute strike into the bottom corner but his effort was cancelled just four minutes later as Mason Greenwood curled a brilliant free kick.

Fenerbahce gradually grew into the match and made a number of dangerous attacking moves late in the half as both sides entered the break level at 1-1.

The Reds continued to threaten the home side's defence with set-pieces, with Alexis Mac Allister forcing a save from goalkeeper Ederson with a close-range header in the 52nd minute.

Andoni Iraola introduced Cody Gakpo after the hour mark and was rewarded in the 69th minute after the Dutch stars pinpoint cross was powered in with a header by Aleander Isak to retake the lead.

For the second time in the match, Fener responded just four minutes later thanks to a low strike from defender Archie Brown.

Both teams made changes in personnel as they searched for a winner, which arrived in the 79th minute when substitute Vedat Muriqi steered his header from a Brown cross expertly past Allison.

The result sees Liverpool sit in fifth place on the league phase table following their first defeat in European competition this season while Fenerbahce claim their first win and move up to 19th.
