Galatasaray beat Kasimpasa 3-0 at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium in the Super Lig on Sunday to close the gap with league leaders Sivasspor to just three points.

The Lions were pretty much ruled out of the title race a few weeks back but after winning five successive game they find themselves back in the running.

Having won the league title for the past two seasons the Yellow-Reds will be confident of their chances to keep pushing on.

Kasimpasa defender Meriah actually opened the scoring by putting the goal in his own net.

An Adem Buyuk brace on 22 and 41 minutes wrapped up all three points before half-time.

Adem Buyuk became the highest scoring Galatasaray player in the Super Lig this season as a result taking his overall tally to five goals.
