Muriqi caps Fenerbahce comeback to make Liverpool pay for defensive lapses
Fenerbahce capitalised on a late defensive collapse to launch Dirk Kuyt’s interim spell with a tumultuous victory and end Liverpool’s 100% run in the Champions League.
- Liverpool’s second successive defeat will infuriate Iraola as much as the manner of Sunday’s loss to Arsenal.
- Bradley Barcola’s anonymous display up front was an added headache for the Liverpool head coach.
The visitors led twice, through Trey Nyoni’s first senior goal and a header from substitute Alexander Isak, only for Fenerbahce to level swiftly on both occasions and snatch a late winner when Vedat Muriqi punished weak defending from several in red.
Andoni Iraola arrived in Istanbul hoping to plug Liverpool’s flaws in attack only for holes to appear at the opposite end of the pitch.
