Fenerbahçe missed out on the opportunity to end the week as Süper Lig leaders.

The Canaries would have overtaken league leaders Galatasaray had they beat Akhisar but the loss saw them remain in third place.

Beşiktaş started the week as leaders but dropped into second place following their defeat against Eskişehirspor.

Galatasaray beat Sivasspor 3-2 at the 4 Eylül stadium to leapfrog both Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş to move into pole position on 48 points.

There is currently only two points separating the top three in the Süper Lig.

Fenerbahçe travel to Konya next week to take on Konyaspor at the Torku Konya stadium.
