Liverpool latest: Fenerbahce stun Reds as club icon leads Champions League comeback

Alexander Isak had looked to make an instant impact for Liverpool as he met fellow substitute Cody Gakpo 's cross to head the Reds into the lead in the 69th minute, after Trey Nyoni's first senior goal was cancelled out by Mason Greenwood 's deflected free-kick in an entertaining first half in Turkey. The chances continued to flow but it was Fenerbahce, previously without a win in the Champions League this season, who capitalised.

Liverpool's lead was once again short lived as Archie Brown arrived at the back post to convert a wayward Gakpo header, before a towering header from Vedat Muriqi completed the comeback. Liverpool, who had won their first three Champions League matches of the league phase, have now suffered back-to-back defeats following Sunday's 1-0 loss against Premier League champions Arsenal.

They will return to action when they travel to Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace on Sunday.

He spoke first about the result and where Liverpool lost the game. "The main reason that I can find for why we lost this game is we conceded from three set pieces," Iraola explained.

"It's something that we were doing very well in the league, we were doing quite well until today. We knew it was one of the strengths of Fenerbahce.

We concede from a free-kick, a corner and even from the long throw at the end. They're goals have hurt us because we've gone twice in front after having good moments, controlling the game, arriving, we've found the goals but after we've conceded in situations we should definitely defend better.

He said: Congratulations to Fenerbahce, they deserve it. We didn't play how we had to play.

We didn't defend after the goal we conceded, after three or four minutes, automatically, we conceded another goal. I think we have to mark better if we want to win games.

We didn't play very good and that's why we lost." Mike Jones 4 November 2026 20:18 A bad defeat for Liverpool Alexander Isak gave Liverpool a 2-1 lead in the 69th minute of this game before they went on to lose 3-2 - it's the latest they have ever gone ahead in a major European game and then lost.
