Liverpool fell to a second straight defeat as Arne Slot’s side saw their first Champions League trip of the season end in a 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray.<\/p>\n
The reigning Premier League champions were looking for a response to Saturday’s last-gasp 2-1 loss at Crystal Palace but wilted on an intense evening in Istanbul.<\/p>\n
Victor Osimhen’s first-half penalty after Dominik Szoboszlai was adjudged to have caught Baris Alper Yilmaz with a trailing arm proved the difference as Galatasaray triumphed at rocking Rams Park.<\/p>\n
Cody Gakpo had seen an effort cleared off the line moments before the decisive spot-kick on an evening that saw Slot surprisingly decide to drop Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak to the bench.<\/p>\n
The Liverpool boss turned to the pair in the 62nd minute in a bid to shake-up his disjointed side shortly after losing Alisson Becker to an injury seemingly sustained when stopping Osimhen scoring a second.<\/p>\n
Hugo Ekitike would also limp off as Liverpool failed to bounce back from their Selhurst Park setback, with a late penalty for a foul on Ibrahima Konate overturned after a VAR review.<\/p>\n
