Unbeaten Turkish Super Lig leaders Galatasaray bagged a 3-0 win at Onvo Antalyaspor on Saturday with the help of forwards Mauro Icardi and Victor Osimhen, who scored a spectacular bicycle kick in injury time.
Argentine star Icardi scored twice, including the opener with a header in the first half.
The Lions were up 2-0 in minute 52 after Icardi finished in the box.
Nigerian star Osimhen, who was signed from Italy’s Napoli in September, scored a bicycle kick to beat the Antalyaspor goalkeeper in injury time in the second half.
Separately, Ismail Jakobs, a Galatasaray left-back, was injured in the Antalyaspor match and had to leave.
Galatasaray have 25 points in nine matches as the Lions moved seven points clear of second-place Samsunspor.
Samsunspor will host Fenerbahce on Sunday as the Istanbul club have 16 points and is fourth in the standings. Fenerbahce have two matches in hand.
Third-place Besiktas have 17 points before their home match Sunday against Tumosan Konyaspor in Istanbul.
Like Fenerbahce, Besiktas also have two matches in hand.
In their next Super Lig fixture, Galatasaray will face Besiktas in an Istanbul derby at home on Oct. 28.
