The defeat was Galatasaray’s first league loss under recently appointed manager Hamza Hamzaoğlu and snapped a four game win streak.

Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray have both won the Süper Lig 19 times. Beşiktaş who are also in the title race have won the league title on 13 occasions.

The Yellow Canaries take on Gençlerbirliği at the 19 Mayıs stadium next.
