Alexander Isak makes blunt admission after Liverpool loss to Fenerbahce - 'We were lacking'

Liverpool lost 3-2 to Fenerbahce in the Champions League after leading twice; Isak scored but admitted the team was sloppy in defence.

Liverpool's perfect Champions League record ended with a 3-2 defeat to Fenerbahce in Istanbul on Wednesday. Goals from Trey Nyoni and Alexander Isak twice put the Reds ahead, but poor defending allowed the Turkish side to equalise on each occasion and secure victory.

Isak, who scored just three minutes after coming off the bench for his seventh goal of the season, acknowledged Liverpool's shortcomings. "It was a bit sloppy that we had the lead twice, and for us to then lose the game is not good enough," he said. "We conceded so quickly after scoring. We should have capitalised on that and there's where we were lacking today."

The defeat marks Liverpool's second successive loss, following a weekend Premier League defeat at home to Arsenal. It is their third reverse in 15 games under new head coach Andoni Iraola.
