Fenerbahce steal dramatic Champions League win

Fenerbahce's first-ever appearance the Champions League knockout stages ended in a dramatic 3-2 victory over Sevilla.

The Turkish team went 1-0 up after 17 minutes as Mateja Kezman profited from some slack marking to head in. It took less than six minutes for Sevilla to level.

Edu Dracena could only divert the ball into his own net, from inside his own six-yard box, after Daniel Alves's cross.

More bad defending by Sevilla saw them hit against the run of play in the 57th minute as Diego Lugano's thumping 12-yard header made it 2-1.

Julien Escude scored a 66th minute equaliser, stabbing in from close range. The home side were saved from a disappointing draw in the 87th minute when Semih Senturk had a slice of luck, as his shot was deflected in.
