Fenerbahce 3 Liverpool 2 LIVE - Iraola and Tsimikas react to first CL loss

On Wednesday, Liverpool lost 3-2 to Fenerbahçe in Istanbul, ending their 100% Champions League record. Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola described the defensive errors as "cheap, messy" goals.
Iraola bemoaned poor set-piece defending, stating, "We conceded from a free kick, a corner, a long throw and that has hurt us." Liverpool had previously rectified these weaknesses this term.
Nineteen-Year-Old midfielder Trey Nyoni scored his first goal for the club, and Alexander Isak put visitors ahead twice. Mason Greenwood, Archie Brown, and Vedat Muriqi's 79th-minute winner secured Fenerbahçe's comeback.
After five successive wins, Liverpool have lost back-to-back games, with this defeat proving "far more damaging to morale" than Sunday's reverse to Arsenal.
Liverpool's record in Turkey now includes seven defeats, extending their struggle in the country. The squad has yet to keep a clean sheet there across Champions League and Super Cup finals while managing nine games in 27 days.
