Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson was livid with Reds teammate Jeremy Jacquet after Mason Greenwood scored via a deflection off the Frenchman. Commentator Ally McCost believes Alisson has every right to be furious with the defender, following Fenerbahce's equaliser.
Greenwood found the net from a free kick to cancel out Trey Nyonyi's opener, following a foul by Dominik Szoboszlai. Crucially, Jacquet turned away from the ball, leaving a hole in Liverpool's wall.
The ball connected with Jacquet's midriff and went straight through that gap, leaving Alisson unable to scramble back across his goal in time. The Brazilian immediately vented his annoyance and threw his arms in the direction of Jacquet, who has impressed in his debut season.
"He gets a break, doesn't he? I think the goalkeeper will not be too happy with his wall," McCoist said on TNT Sports. "Does somebody turn their back on it?

"It's the perfect answer. It's Jacquet and he's livid, does he turn his back? He certainly does, you've got to face it.
"The goalkeeper is livid, absolutely livid and with justification as well. He's (Jacquet) is side on for someone who has had a good start to the season."
Analysing the incident at half-time, Karen Carney was in agreement. "Alisson was fuming. Rightly so. You can't turn Jacquet. I don't even know if it was going in."

Ex-Liverpool star Steve McManaman was also critical. "That's self-inflicted; that's an awful goal," he said.
"A big gap in the wall. It bounces off the big, tough centre-half turning his back. It should never ever happen. That's a poor goal."
The 21-year-old has enjoyed a positive start to his life at Liverpool and drawn praise from Anfield legend Jamie Carragher. The pundit accepted that the youngster will still make mistakes but believes he is an outstanding project delivering now.
"I am getting a bit carried away with him? I don’t know and I apologise to viewers at home. He’s really impressed," Carragher said in Liverpool's win over Bournemouth.
"He's young, he will have bad games and he will make mistakes, of course that is the nature of young centre-backs.
"But he has played very well and he also looks the part. You know when you just look at a player and think he looks like a centre-back, he looks like a good player.
"It doesn't always work and I certainly wouldn’t class myself as looking the part when I played."
