Victor Moses was hurled off at half time in Fenerbahce’s 3-3 draw away at Besiktas in Monday’s Istanbul derby reports Completesports.com.

The game was Moses’ sixth Turkish League appearance for Fenerbahce since joined last month on an 18 months loan deal from Chelsea.

Gokhan Gonul gave Besiktas the lead ten minutes into the first half.

Burak Yilmaz then netted a brace as Besiktas took a 3-0 lead into the break but Fenerbahce scored three goals in the space after 12 minutes in the second half to climb out of relegation zone.

With Moses substituted at half time for Andre Ayew Ersun Yanal’s side looked a completely different side after the break.

Miha Zajc soon made their pressure pay as he pulled one back in the 55th minute before Sadik Ciftpınar found the net six minutes later.

It took just another six minutes for Hasan Ali Kaldirim to complete the comeback with a stunning left-footed strike from 25 yards.

The collapse leaves Besiktas 11 points behind league leaders Istanbul Basaksehir while Fenerbahce moved up to fifth from bottom, a point clear of safety.
