Commentary
The yellow and blue part of Istanbul is bouncing as fight-back Fenerbahce beat Liverpool 3-2 in the Champions League! Former Liverpool favourite Kuyt inflicts a first continental defeat of the season upon the Reds, as his side grasp their first three points in the competition. They also end a 10-game winless run. What a way to do it! A deflected Nyoni volley flew past Ederson to open the scoring in the 25th minute for the youngster's first Liverpool goal. Yet, just four minutes later, Greenwood saw a free-kick flick past Alisson off Jacquet as the Brazilian keepers continued to be wrong-footed. After the break, a triple change from Iraola looked to make a difference, as Gakpo crossed for Isak to head in his first UCL goal in Red. However, Fener looked a side reborn, especially considering the 6-0 drubbing they suffered at the hands of Aston Villa. In front of their boisterous home support, the Canaries took four minutes yet again to level up in the 73rd minute. A Kante cross was inadvertently flicked backwards in the box by Gakpo, and Brown snuck in behind Szoboszlai to tap in with Alisson in no-man's-land. After this, a Fener change settled things, as Muriqi's high-flying Super Lig form translated to Europe. The Kosovan emerged in the 63rd minute and scored his first-ever Champions League goal in the 79th, heading into the bottom-left corner as Brown's floated ball caused chaos in the Liverpool box. With this excellent win that saw them play above their 1.7 xG, Fenerbahce are now 19th in the league phase table. Their 100% run foiled, the 1.57 xG-toting Liverpool drop a place to fifth. Thanks for joining us tonight. Goodbye!
FULL-TIME: FENERBAHCE 3-2 LIVERPOOL
Liverpool go long again, but Van Dijk initially hits the turf before getting up and smashing wide and over from inside the box! What a night for Kuyt and Fenerbahce!
NEARLY ANOTHER FOR THE HOSTS! Szoboszlai goes long and looks for Van Dijk, yet Skriniar clears well. Alisson has to get rid as he's harangued by Guendouzi, and the Frenchman nearly finds the Brazilian's empty net from range!
There will be a minimum of three added minutes.

Greenwood's night is over. On comes Oguz Aydin for the closing stages.
