Martin Skrtel is up to his old tricks in Istanbul.
The Fenerbahce defender, who was allowed to leave Liverpool last summer after a catalogue of errors, helpfully teed up encroaching Krasnodar midfielder Yury Gazinskiy, who then rolled through the ball for Fyodor Smolov seven minutes into Thursday's tilt.
The goal gave the Russian side a 2-0 aggregate lead in the Europa League Round of 32 meeting, but Fenerbahce reduced arrears on 41 minutes through Souza.
