Galatasaray lifted the Super Lig title for a record 22nd time after beating Basaksehir 2-1 in the penultimate week of the league campaign.

The Lions managed to come back from a goal down in the Istanbul derby to go onto win the championship-deciding match.

It was the visitors who took the lead when Rijad Bajic scored on 17 minutes.

Galatasaray manager Fatih Terim is renowned for giving big half-time talks and he managed to work his magic once again during the inverval.

The Lions headed into the half-time break looking nervous. They made several unforced errors, passing was poor and several players lacked confidence.

The Yellow-Reds looked rejuvenated in the second half and just two minutes after the restart former West Ham winger Sofiane Feghouli equalised with a stunning overhead kick.
