Liverpool suffer first CL defeat of season after stunning Fenerbahce comeback

Match report as Liverpool lose 3-2 in their UEFA Champions League game against Fenerbahce in Istanbul; Trey Nyoni and Alexander Isak had put Liverpool ahead twice but poor defending cost the Reds; defeat means Liverpool fail to maintain perfect start in Europe

Liverpool's perfect start to their Champions League campaign came to a sudden halt as they lost two leads in a 3-2 defeat to Fenerbahce in Istanbul.

Goals from 19-year-old Trey Nyoni and Alexander Isak had twice put Liverpool ahead, but poor defending saw them hold each of those leads for just four minutes before the hosts completed the comeback late on, with Andoni Iraola left to rue "cheap" and "messy" goals.

Iraola made five changes to the team that had lost to Arsenal three days prior, opting to rest several big names including Isak and Florian Wirtz.

One of those who remained in the starting XI was Nyoni and he wrote another chapter in his breakthrough season as his deflected volley wrong-footed Ederson and nestled in the back of the net for his first professional goal.
