Liverpool player ratings, winners and losers vs Fenerbahce as Trey Nyoni was excellent, but the Bradley Barcola at number experiment didn't pay off for Andoni Iraola

Alexander Isak scored his first Champions League goal for Liverpool but the Swede was unable to help the Reds take another step towards the knockout phase as Vedat Muriqi netted a late winner for Fenerbahce.

Trey Nyoni put Liverpool ahead when he steered an effort past Ederson, but the Reds' lead only lasted four minutes when Dominik Szoboszlai gave away a free-kick in a dangerous area, and Mason Greenwood leveled.

With the scoreline locked at 1-1 in the second period, Andoni Iraola turned to the bench, and Isak was one of a triple change. With his first touch, he headed Liverpool in front, set up by another of those to be introduced, Cody Gakpo, only for Archie Brown to make it 2-2 and Muriqi to complete the comeback.

Winners

Once again, Rio Ngumoha looked like a senior pro in a tough environment, offering an outball for Liverpool a few times. Nyoni, too, the other young player in the side, was very good. The teenage midfielder never seems to look fazed by anything and his controlled shot that beat Ederson was a nice moment — his first goal at senior level. Isak showed his class with an instant impact too.

Losers

It was a strange game for a few players. Bradley Barcola, on paper, has the skills required to play as a striker, but that experiment really didn't work. Milos Kerkez and Kostas Tsimikas, meanwhile, seem to make fans yearn for the other whenever they play. Jeremy Jacquet, who turned his back on Greenwood's free kick, will not want to see that back again, and Alisson Becker wasn't great either.

Player ratings

Alisson Becker (5). He made an error against Arsenal but could do nothing with the free kick that beat him, when he needed help from his wall. Made a good stop from Greenwood just before half-time, but was caught out for Fenerbahce's second and third.

Joe Gomez (6). Starting at right-back again, he didn't make too many successful ventures forward but put a perfect ball across the face of goal in the first half that should have created a goal.

Jeremy Jacquet (4). Missed a big chance to score early on in the game and turned his back when Greenwood's free kick deflected in off his midriff. Seemed off his game and gave away a couple of silly fouls. Poor on the winning goal as well.

Virgil van Dijk (6). Got a couple of early knocks from Romelu Lukaku, who seemed to go out of his way to be overly physical. Certainly better than Jacquet, which hasn't always been the case this season.

Kostas Tsimikas (5). Seemingly the midweek left-back now, the Greek was solid at times but didn't make the most of a couple of decent crossing opportunities in open play. Fortunate not to concede a penalty and get sent off when he shoved Greenwood too.

Trey Nyoni (8). In the side from the off again, the 19-year-old looked right at home immediately. Netted with a deflected effort to open the scoring and kept things ticking in the center with some very clever balls.

Alexis Mac Allister (6). Battled well in the middle of the pitch but not always with the same success as he has in recent weeks. Quieter than he has been of late and seemed to get frustrated.

Victor Munoz (6). Direct, pacy and purposeful with his running but not always with end product. Archie Brown tended to match him stride for stride.

Dominik Szoboszlai (6). Operating as the most advanced midfielder for the first time under Andoni Iraola, he was doing a lot of running, but without much in the way of creation and guile.

Rio Ngumoha (7). No one in the competition had completed more dribbles than him this season before kick-off, and he got through a few more here. Really quick feet even on a pitch that looked very wet and surprisingly taken off.

Bradley Barcola (5). Playing up front in a system that was meant to be fluid, he struggled to get into things and make the right runs. His one good effort at goal came when he drifted to the left wing, and it was no coincidence. Better when he switched to the right wing, but still frustrated.

Substitutes

Alexander Isak (7). Scored with his first touch. It's exactly what he does, with this one his first for Liverpool in Europe.

Cody Gakpo (7). Instantly offered more incision in the final third and set up Isak's header with a good cross.

Florian Wirtz (6). Kept things ticking in the middle but was unable to be much more involved than that.

Milos Kerkez (6). Given a rare runout from the bench, he settled into the game well enough without making a huge impact. Lewis Koumas also came on, but too late to earn a rating.
