Victor Osimhen marked his return from injury for Galatasaray with a goal to wrap up their 3-0 away win over Antalyaspor and extend their lead at the top of the table.
After returning to action following a three-week muscle injury spell, Osimhen only needed one minute off the bench to get on the scoresheet for Galatasaray.
Osimhen was assisted by Roland Sallai a minute after coming on for Yunus Akgun, but the video assistant referee chalked off the goal because the Nigerian was offside.

He did not relent after his first goal was ruled out and went in search of another and got it, a brilliant overhead kick in the third minute of the added time to seal the win for the Turkish champions in their first match after the international break.

The injury forced Osimhen to miss the break with Nigeria, where his teammates experienced inhumane treatment during a 16-hour hostage ordeal in Libya.
Argentine striker Mauro Icardi scored the first two goals as he continued his impressive performances for the Lions in his third season in Istanbul, extending Gala’s lead to seven points at the top of the table.
