Turkish Super Lig Review: Besiktas back on top as Fenerbahce slip

Besiktas returned to the top of the Turkish Super Lig after a dramatic stoppage-time strike from Cenk Tosun gave them a 2-1 victory over Karabukspor.

Slaven Bilic's side appeared to have thrown their chance away against the relegation strugglers as they entered added time level, but Tosun was their hero as he flicked home the winner in the 96th minute.

Besiktas leap to the top ahead of Galatasaray on goal difference, while previous leaders Fenerbahce slip to third – a point back – after a 1-1 draw with Eskisehirspor.

Bursaspor occupy fourth position after a 4-1 win over Istanbul Basaksehir – who are now fifth – while Trabzonspor dropped points in a 1-1 draw with Genclerbirligi.
