I just mentioned that good start for Galatasaray, so let’s take a look at it in a bit more detail.
There are few (if any) teams who have been as fun to watch as the Turkish giants in the Europa League — their three matches have seen a whopping 15 goals!
Their last one was a pulsating seven-goal thriller, which came after they squandered a two-goal lead away against Latvian side RFS. Their first game, meanwhile, was an important 3-1 victory against PAOK.
Yunus Akgun, who spent last season on loan at Leicester City, has been their stand-out performer with a goal in all three matches.
- Galatasaray 3-1 PAOK (Rahman OG, Akgun, Icardi; Konstantelias)
- RFS 2-2 Galatasaray (Ikaunieks, Odisharia; Mertens, Akgun)
- Galatasaray 4-3 Elfsborg (Icardi, Pettersson OG, Yilmaz, Akgun; Hult, Baidoo, Larsson)
