Liverpool lost 3-2 to Fenerbahce in Istanbul on November 4 after twice taking the lead, ending their perfect start to the Champions League league phase. Trey Nyoni and Alexander Isak scored for Liverpool, while Mason Greenwood, Archie Brown and Vedat Muriqi replied for the Turkish side. Nyoni, 19, opened the scoring with a volley that deflected past goalkeeper Ederson. It was the midfielder’s first senior goal. Greenwood equalised before half-time with a free kick that also took a deflection, off Liverpool defender Jeremy Jacquet. Isak came on as a substitute and headed Liverpool ahead in the 69th minute, meeting a cross from fellow substitute Cody Gakpo.
