Demba Ba came on in the second half to score a goal and provide an assist as Istanbul Basaksehir went back to the top of the Turkish Super Lig, beating Gaziantep 3-1 on Monday night.

It was their third league win on the bounce having seen off Besiktas and Rizespor previously.

After a cagey first half, Ba came on for Eljero Elia at the restart and Istanbul took the lead in the 51st minute after the 34-year old Senegalese played the ball into Gael Clichy's path, with the former Arsenal full-back doing the rest.
