Fenerbahce came from behind twice to beat Liverpool 3-2 at home Wednesday, securing their first UEFA Champions League victory in more than 18 years.

Alexander Isak restored Liverpool's advantage in the 69th minute before Archie Brown struck four minutes later to make it 2-2. Vedat Muric completed the comeback in the 79th minute, sealing the victory for the Turkish side at Istanbul's Chobani Stadium.

Despite the victory, Fenerbahce have yet to keep a clean sheet in six Champions League matches this season, including two playoff fixtures.
