From the source
Liverpool left Istanbul with nothing to show for a night that, in spells, actually suggested real control. A 3-2 defeat to Fenerbahce told a familiar story for Andoni Iraola’s side this season, promising spells going to waste the moment the game turns scrappy and the atmosphere turns hostile.
Trey Nyoni and Alexander Isak both found the net, and for long periods Liverpool looked the more composed side in possession. But that composure kept dissolving at the worst possible moments.
Mason Greenwood and Archie Brown scored for the hosts either side of Isak’s effort, before Vedat Muriqi headed home a late winner that felt entirely in keeping with how the balance of the game had shifted over ninety minutes.
