Mali's Fousseni Diabate on target in Sivasspor defeat to Besiktas

Fousseni Diabate's goal was not enough to save Sivasspor from a 2-1 loss to Besiktas in Monday's Turkish Super Lig outing.

The Mali youth international found the back of the net for second consecutive time in Turkish top-flight to register his second league goal since his temporary arrival from Leicester City in January.

Diabate cancelled out Domagoj Vida's opener with a brilliant effort at the death of the first half as both teams headed into the break on level terms.

The 23-year-old raced through Besiktas' defence before placing his left-footed shot past an advancing Lorius Karius.
