Muriqi caps Fenerbahçe comeback as Liverpool's 100% record falls
Vedat Muriqi's late header gave Fenerbahçe a 3-2 victory. It ended Liverpool's unbeaten start to the Champions League.
Fenerbahçe fought back twice to beat Liverpool 3-2 in Istanbul. Muriqi's late header was the decisive blow.
Liverpool twice took the lead through Trey Nyoni and Alexander Isak but could not hold on. The hosts levelled each time.
First came a deflected Mason Greenwood free-kick. Then a mix-up in Liverpool's defence gave Archie Brown an easy tap-in.
Muriqi's winner completed the comeback. The defeat comes after Liverpool lost to Arsenal on Sunday.
