Crystal Palace loanee Alexander Sorloth scored his 19th goal for Trabzonspor in the 2-1 victory over Fenerbahce at the Medicap Park stadium in the Super Lig on Saturday.

Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce are in different cities but the rivalry between these two sides is so intense that the fixture is considered a derby.

The visitors actually took the lead when Max Kruse scored in the first minute of play.

Sorloth equalised on 16 minutes displaying lovely technique and a clinical finish.

The Norway international went onto setup Novak with the winner on 32 minutes after heading the ball across the goal for his teammate to head home.

Sorloth now has 16 goals and four assists in 19 league games. In total, he has 19 goals and five assists in all competitions.

The powerful striker joined Trabzonspor on a 24-month loan over the summer. The Black Sea based side also have a buy option.
