Fenerbahce, Besiktas slip up

Fenerbahce and Besiktas both failed to take advantage of leaders Galatasaray's shock draw with lowly Antalyaspor as they crashed to defeat in the Turkish Super Lig. Fenerbahce would have gone level on points at the top with a win at second from bottom Samsunspor and they started in style with Miroslav Stoch sliding them ahead with just six minutes on the clock. But the hosts hit back through a Theofanis Gekas penalty three minutes before the break and the Greek striker completed his hat-trick in the second half as his side ran out surprise 3-1 winners. Things were no better for Besiktas, who were beaten 1-0 at home by ailing Mersin Idmanyurdu, who had gone into the game on the back of six straight Super Lig defeats. Erdal Kilicarslan scored the only goal of the game three minutes before the break and to compound the hosts' woes they had late substitute Ricardo Quaresma sent off on 84 minutes. Two late goals from Brazilian Diego Angelo helped Eskisehirspor to a 3-2 win at Manisaspor. Nemanja Vucicevic and Ahmet Ozek twice put the hosts in front with Veysel Sari replying for Eskisehirspor. Sivasspor stay in sixth place after a 1-1 draw at home to Kayserispor. Nigerian Michael Eneramo put Sivasspor in front just after the break but James Troisi equalised on 65 minutes.
