Fernandes, Matic both 4/10 as Man United suffer shock defeat in Turkey

Manchester United lost in the group stage of this season's UEFA Champions League for the first time as they were humbled in a 2-1 loss to Istanbul Basaksehir on Wednesday night. A bizarre lapse of judgement on the halfway line allowed Demba Ba a breakaway to open the scoring before Edin Visca made it two, following a deft dummy by Ba in the 40th minute. Anthony Martial rose to head the visitors back into it before the break, but United never quote able to find an equalizer in the second 45.
