Trabzonspor have thrashed Gaziantepspor 4-1 to move up to fourth place in the Super Lig.
The hosts were gifted an early lead through Ivelin Popov’s sixth-minute own-goal on Friday night.
They strengthened their hand after halftime with a Burak Yilmaz penalty in the 56th minute and a Mustafa Yumlu strike soon after.
Marek Sapara gave the relegation-battling visitors faint hope in the 70th minute but goalkeeper Zydrunas Karcemarskas was sent off 12 minutes from time and Yilmaz sealed the win with his second penalty of the night.
