Ryan Babel enjoying best Champions League form since leaving Liverpool
Besiktas beat Monaco 2-1 away from home to record their third successive Champions League Group G victory.
The Black Eagles came from behind with a brace from Cenk Tosun to record the memorable victory.
Ryan Babel setup Tosun with the second goal but should have had his own name on the scoresheet as well.

Babel would have scored the opening goal had referee Milorad Mazic not ruled it offside.
The replays clearly showed that Babel’s goal should have stood.

Babel has been involved in a goal in every Champions League game this season.
The Dutch star has two goals and one assist in total which is his best record in the competition since leaving Liverpool in 2011.
Babel scored twice and provided one assist in the 2008-09 campaign with the Reds.
The 30-year-old’s best season in the Champions League was the 2007-08 season with Liverpool, scoring five times and provided one assist.
