Violent scenes unfolded in Turkey after Trabzonspor fans attempted to attack Fenerbahce’s players as they stormed the pitch following their Super Lig clash. Fenerbahce won the intense encounter 3-2, as Michy Batshuayi netted the decisive goal in the closing stages after former Man United midfielder, Fred had scored twice. With tensions already high, disgraceful scenes took place following the final whistle as several Trabzonspor supporters invaded the pitch and confronted Fenerbahce’s players, who were forced to defend themselves. The intense emotions inside the Papara Park stadium were amplified by Batshuayi’s late winner as supporters hurled objects onto the pitch. With three points secured, Fenerbahce’s players celebrated together in the middle of the pitch before the violent scenes worsened. Video footage showed supporters sprinting directly towards former Chelsea and Crystal Palace star Batshuayi. Taking direct action, the Belgian forward launched into a spinning heel kick connecting with the supporter and causing them to quickly disperse. Stewards attempted to protect the players as scores of fans forced their way onto the pitch at full-time. Fenerbahce’s players were then shielded by security forces as they tried to get back into the sanctum of their changing rooms. Turkey’s interior minister, Ali Yerlikaya condemned the violence as he revealed authorities had already started a probe into identifying the culprits. Yerlikaya said on Monday that 12 fans had been arrested following the March 17th incident. #football #Trabzonspor #Fenerbahce
