From the source
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 Andoni Iraola's side ahead, but poor defending saw them hold each of those leads for just four minutes before the hosts completed the comeback late on.
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.
