Fenerbahce secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Liverpool in Istanbul on Thursday, with former Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt playing a decisive role against his old club.

Liverpool, managed by Andoni Iraola, twice took the lead but were unable to hold on as Fenerbahce fought back to claim the win.

Kuyt, who spent six years at Anfield between 2006 and 2012, stunned the visitors with a crucial contribution that turned the match in the Turkish side's favor.

The result sees Fenerbahce celebrate a famous win over the Premier League giants, while Liverpool will rue missed opportunities after surrendering two advantageous positions.
