Fenerbahçe claimed their first victory of the tournament with a dramatic win over Liverpool, moving up to 19th place with five points and into the play-off positions. The Reds, meanwhile, dropped to fifth with nine points, suffering their first defeat after starting the competition with a perfect record.

Liverpool had gone three matches without dropping points, while Fenerbahçe were looking to end a run of three games without a win. Despite taking the lead twice, the English side were unable to hold on, with Muriqi scoring the decisive goal to complete a memorable comeback for the Turkish team.

Brazilian goalkeepers beaten by deflections

Liverpool took the lead in the 25th minute when 19-year-old Nyoni collected a loose ball on the edge of the box and fired towards goal. A deflection wrong-footed Ederson and sent the ball into the net.

Alisson suffered a similar fate shortly afterwards. Greenwood's long-range free-kick took a deflection after the Liverpool wall opened up, leaving the Brazilian goalkeeper with no chance.

Liverpool struggled to regain control after conceding the equaliser, although Alisson prevented further damage with a save from another Greenwood attempt.

Liverpool's substitutions make an impact

After the break, Liverpool increased their possession and attacking pressure but struggled to break through the Turkish defence. Andoni Iraola eventually introduced Wirtz, Isak and Gakpo to strengthen his attack.

Isak needed just three minutes to make an impact. The striker met Gakpo's cross with a close-range header to put Liverpool back in front.

However, the lead did not last. Gakpo inadvertently helped Fenerbahçe equalise when his attempted interception sent the ball into the path of Archie Brown, who scored into an unguarded net.

Liverpool's defence then made another costly mistake. Left with too much space inside the box, Muriqi found the net to complete Fenerbahçe's comeback and secure a precious first win in the competition.
