Besiktas beat Antalyaspor 1-0 at the Fatih Terim stadium to keep their place at the top of the Turkish Super League table.

Former Arsenal midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup opened the scoring after a brilliant one two with Josa Sosa before blasting the ball into the bottom corner on 27 minutes.

Ozyakup has been one of the Black Eagles star performers this season and now has eight goals as well as seven assists to his name.

The 23-year-old put on another impressive midfield display and helped his side keep possession with his 57 passes at 91 accuracy.

The Turkish international midfielder has now scored 20 times and setup 31 goals for Besiktas since joining from Arsenal in 2012 on a €500,000 transfer.
