Besiktas were held to a 2-2 draw against Fenerbahce in the Istanbul derby at the Vodafone Park.
The heated derby was the second between these two sides in five days and resulted in three red cards plus a ridiculous number of bookings.
Anderson Talisca started the clash after missing the 3-1 win over Fenerbahce last Sunday due to suspension.
Talisca ended up providing the assist for his side’s opener, finding Alvaro Negredo with a defense-splitting ball.
The 1.91m tall Brazilian attacking midfielder now has five assists in all competitions for Besiktas.
Turkish-Football have reported that Liverpool are interested in Talisca and have been scouting the Besiktas ace on loan from Benfica.
The Reds also monitored the 24-year-old in the derby clash tonight.
