Fenerbahçe on Monday toppled Ittifak Holding Konyaspor 3-0 to stay in the 2020-21 Turkish Super Lig title race.
Visitors Fenerbahçe took the lead in the first half at MEDAS Konya Buyuksehir Belediye Stadium when Hungarian defender Attila Szalai made a close-range finish in the 29th minute.
Three minutes later, Nigerian-English winger Bright Osayi-Samuel doubled Fenerbahçe's lead by scoring on a counter attack. His low shot beat Konyaspor goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic.
In the 90th minute, Turkish central defender Serdar Aziz took the score to 3-0.
Sehic fumbled the ball after a Fenerbahçe corner kick whipped by winger Ferdi Kadioglu. Aziz scored an open goal.
In the second half, Fenerbahçe's Greek midfielder Dimitris Pelkas left the pitch on a stretcher, his head hurt by a collision with his opponent Nejc Skubic.
