Former Borussia Dortmund midfielder Nuri Sahin was seen protecting the match officials from his Antalyaspor players after their 2-1 loss to Fenerbahce.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ex-Turkey international, who also played for Liverpool and Real Madrid<\/a>, is currently coaching in the Turkish Super Lig, and was denied a big result.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tBut ended the game protecting the referee\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Having gone a goal up against the Istanbul giants, a quick-fire double from Michy Batshuayi swung the match before Antalyaspor thought they\u2019d equalised in the 11th minute of added time.<\/p>\n

However, the goal from former Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fernando was ruled out for offside by VAR, leaving the home team seething.<\/p>\n

And when the full-time whistle eventually came, Sahin<\/a> ran on the pitch to protect referee Kadir Saglam and his fellow officials in sensational scenes.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t just the Antalya players that were livid, as the club later released a statement demanding audio recordings from the league.<\/p>\n

In a statement titled \u2018Dark Night\u2019 and signed by the board of directors<\/a>, the club called Saglam a \u2018novice referee\u2019 and accused him of \u2018making up penalties\u2019 in previous matches.<\/p>\n

It read: \u201cIn today\u2019s match, the same referee who assisted Fenerbahce\u2019s first goal, sought the penalty and made up the offside, despite being stopped by a foul while attacking.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are against the order that treats Anatolian clubs in the championship race.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe demand justice not only for our community, but for all Anatolian clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n
