ISTANBUL, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Besiktas beat Liverpool 2-1 in their Champions League Group A fixture on Wednesday to leave last season's finalists facing elimination from the competition.
The Istanbul side took the lead in the 13th minute with a Sami Hyypia own goal after a close-range Serdar Ozkan shot deflected in off the Liverpool defender.
Brazilian striker Bobo doubled the lead after 82 minutes, firing a shot in through the legs of Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
England midfielder Steven Gerrard pulled a goal back with a diving header with five minutes remaining but it was not enough to save Liverpool, who languish at the foot of the group with one point from three games.
