Elneny and Kayode sent off in Gazisehir Gaziantep win over Besiktas

Nigeria's Olanrewaju Kayode and Egypt's Mohamed Elneny were both sent off as Gazisehir Gaziantep edged Besiktas 3-2 in Saturday's Turkish Super Lig encounter.

The African duo were involved in a duel towards the end of the game and were both sent off by Halil Meler after using the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

Elneny, who was making his first appearance in the Turkish Super Lig after joining the Black Eagles on a season-long loan from Arsenal, hit Kayode on his knee after the Nigerian appeared to have jabbed him with his elbow.
