2 November 2026 Football Agenda | Süper Lig & Premier League

Matchday 10 of the Süper Lig is done, and the weekend produced results that will keep both the title race and the dugouts talking. In England, the biggest Premier League fixture of the weekend was settled at Anfield. Here are the key stories of the day.

Fenerbahçe lose at home to Göztepe

The yellow-navy side lost 2-1 to Göztepe at Kadıköy. Head coach Dirk Kuyt apologised to the fans after the match and took responsibility. He said Fenerbahçe had 72 percent of the ball in the first half and that this was the football they wanted to play. They started the second half poorly, he explained, and conceded from an individual error, while missed chances proved costly. Kuyt said keeping the already-booked Semedo on risked playing with ten men, and that Kojo Oppong asked to come off because he felt pain. He added that helping the club through the period following İsmail Kartal's departure was his priority. Fenerbahçe remain on 16 points after 10 games, nine behind leaders Galatasaray. Restoring morale and consistency is the big question for the coming week.

Beşiktaş cannot hold a 2-0 lead at Kasımpaşa

Beşiktaş drew 2-2 away at Kasımpaşa. They controlled much of the game and went 2-0 up, but dropped their rhythm after the break and conceded twice. Head coach Vincenzo Italiano openly admitted a loss of concentration, saying they controlled the tempo in the second half but lost focus and rhythm. He congratulated the opponent and stressed that the away performances must improve. He also said Trossard was substituted because of fatigue. Absences are hurting: captain Orkun Kökçü missed the match with a partial plantar fascia tear in his right foot. No firm return date has been officially announced by the club; various targets such as the Celtic game are circulating in the media, but none is officially confirmed. Italiano's remark that they are paying a heavy price points to how much the missing players are affecting the balance of the side.

Trabzonspor keep rolling under Reis

The Black Sea club beat Gaziantep FK 2-0 at home. Savic scored in first-half stoppage time (45+2) and Ernest Muçi added the second in the 61st minute. It was the seventh win in seven matches in all competitions under Thomas Reis, who became the first coach in club history to win his first five league games in charge. Trabzonspor have 22 points after 10 games and sit third, while Gaziantep stay on 8. Reis said his side were sometimes careless in possession, failed to convert chances and scored from a set piece, but he was happy with the second half. Injuries are their main concern, with Franculino Dju and Aral Şimşir occupying the coaching staff.

Arsenal win at Anfield: Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal

In the Premier League's biggest game of the weekend, Arsenal beat Liverpool 1-0 away. Kai Havertz met Declan Rice's low cross at the back post and scored in the 16th minute. Reports point to an Alisson error in the build-up. Liverpool dominated the game but could not beat Raya. A first-half incident involving Alexander Isak and Timber, where no penalty was given, also stirred debate, with reports describing it differently. The win ended a long wait for Arsenal at Anfield and moved them to the top of the table. Sources differ on exactly when the Gunners last won there, but all stress that the run was finally broken.

Weekend wrap

In short: a jolt at Kadıköy, two points thrown away by Beşiktaş, an unbroken run at Trabzonspor and an Anfield night that shapes the title race in England. Kökçü's return timeline and Fenerbahçe's recovery will stay at the top of the agenda in the coming days.
