The Turkish title race was thrown open this weekend, with José Mourinho’s Fenerbahce given renewed hope after champions Galatasaray were beaten by Besiktas. There were Portuguese to thank for the result, with Rafa Silva and Gedson Fernandes getting the goals for Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer’s side to reduce the gap at the top to six points with a Fener game in-hand.

Elsewhere, João Neves continued to enjoy a sensational debut season in France with Paris Saint-Germain, the midfielder getting another goal in their victory at Saint-Etienne. Mathias Lage also scored in Ligue 1 for Brest, while Jota’s resurgence at Celtic continues and Chiquinho scored for Greek champions-elect Olympiacos in a big win over Panathinaikos.
