The former Arsenal and Real Madrid striker continued his fine form for Istanbul Basaksehir, taking his tally up to five goals in as many appearances
Emmanuel Adebayor struck a hat-trick as Istanbul Basaksehir got their Super Lig title challenge back on track and severely damaged that of Galatasaray with a 4-0 win on Monday.
A draw with Karabukspor and defeat to Akhisar Belediyespor saw Basaksehir slip eight points adrift of leaders Besiktas, but Adebayor closed the distance to five at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium.
The Togo international got off the mark 11 minutes in with a simple finish into a gaping net from Marcio Mossoro's square pass after Gala failed to clear, and he added a second on the stroke of half-time.
