The goal ended up winning the Red-Yellows all three points and moving Galatasaray into 60 points after 24 games.
In total the Lions have now won 17 games in all competitions – including the Turkish Cup.
Zaniolo joined Galatasaray on a surprise move from AS Roma on February 8 for €15m [Transfermarkt] on and he is under contract until June 2027.
The Turkish transfer window was extended until March due to the earthquake that devastated Turkey and Syria last month.
As a result the league was suspended and only recently returned which is why Zaniolo has only just made his debut.
The 23-year-old midfielder has 11 caps for the Italy national team.
