Champions League: Liverpool suffer 3-2 loss at Fenerbahce, Como thump Lens
Como equal Champions League record with stunning 9-1 win at Lens as Haaland rescues Manchester City at Leipzig.
Fenerbahce’s interim head coach Dirk Kuyt has praised his side’s intensity and fighting spirit after they twice came from behind to beat his former club Liverpool 3-2 at home in the Champions League.
Just two matches into the job, the Dutchman delivered Fenerbahce’s first victory of their Champions League campaign, thanks to Vedat Muriqi’s 79th-minute winner on Wednesday.
Kuyt, who played more than 200 games for Liverpool between 2006 and 2012, was last week named interim coach of Fenerbahce while they search for a permanent manager following the resignation of Ismail Kartal.
Como also became the first team since 1971 to score nine goals away from home in the European Cup and only the second after Bayern Munich to score nine in a Champions League match.
