(Video) Ryan Babel scores first Europa League goal since Liverpool exit

Besiktas winger Ryan Babel has scored his first Europa League goal since he left Liverpool in 2011.

Babel scored the Black Eagles second goal against Greek champions Olympiakos midway through the first half when his shot from inside the area found the back of the net – thanks to some rather poor goalkeeping.

The goal was his first Europa League goal since the 2009-10 season when he netted for the Reds against Unirea Urziceni in the second leg of the second round game in 2010.

Babel joined Besiktas from Deportivo La Coruna in January and now has eight goals in addition to two assists in all competitions this season.
