Former Liverpool midfielder and current Antalyaspor boss Nuri Sahin rushed to protect referee Kadir Saglam from his own players after a controversial Super Lig defeat against Fenerbahce.
Antalyaspor were controversially denied a late equalising goal due to an offside decision in the encounter. Striker Haji Wright had given Sahin’s side a first-half lead but former Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi bagged a double after the break, the second of which came from the penalty spot, to seal the points for the visitors.
At full-time, angry Antalyaspor players ran to confront referee Saglam due to their unhappiness with his performance and their feeling aggrieved with a belief that they had unfairly been denied at least a draw due to decisions taken throughout the match.
