Besiktas climb table with dramatic win

(GSM) – Besiktas moved to within three points of Turkish league leaders Bursaspor on Saturday as they came from two goals down to beat Esiksehirspor 3-2.

Umit Karan fired the visitors in front with a stunning goal inside the second minute of play, and it got worse when he doubled the lead from the spot in the 22nd minute.

The fans at the Inönü became restless, but settled a bit on 31 minutes when Nihat Kahveci tucked one past goalkeeper Vanja Ivesa.

Brazilian striker Bobo then equalized just short of the hour mark, and Besiktas were firmly in control of the match.

Then, in the 73rd minute, the comeback was complete as Filip Holosko bagged what proved to the winning goal.
