Besiktas suffered a shock 3-1 defeat in the Super Lig to relegation battlers Kayserispor at the Kadir Has Stadium.

The victory was Kayserispor’s third in a row and moved them from the relegation zone into 14th place on 31 points.

Besiktas meanwhile, remain in 5th place on 50 points.

The Black-Whites are 13 points behind leaders Basaksehir putting them out of the title race.

However, due to Trabzonspor being suspended from European competition next season they would book a place in the Europa League even if they finish 5th.

Technically, a third-placed finish is still up for grabs as Sivasspor are just four points ahead.
