Nigeria forward Paul Onuachu scored his 16th Turkish Super Lig goal of the season, but Trabzonspor were beaten 3-2 by Fenerbahce.
The 30-year-old headed in late in the first half to underline his aerial strength, taking his tally to 16 league goals despite missing four weeks earlier in the campaign due to international duty.
Trabzonspor led early after fellow Nigerian Chibuike Nwaiwu set up Ernest Muci, but Fenerbahce responded through Anderson Talisca, Kerem Akturkoglu and Marco Asensio to secure the points.
