Gomez has now scored both home and away against Istanbul giants Galatasaray this season.

Gomez made history becoming the first player to score in the recently completed Vodafone Arena stadium and has beat Ilhan Mansiz’s record for most goals scored in a single league campaign (21).

The powerful striker has attracted the interest of Manchester United who have expressed an interest in the striker according to Telegraph and FoxSport last month.
