Former Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski scores in Galatasaray victory

The former Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski scored today during Galatasaray’s 2-1 victory over Gaziantepspor.

The Lions hosted Gaziantepspor at the Turk Telekom Arena and were a goal down after – minutes when Muhammed Demir found the back of the net.

Podolski struck back immediately for the home side when he headed in a well placed cross from Jason Denayer.

Umut Bulut scored his first goal of the season to give Galatasaray the lead in what turned out to be the winning goal.
