Okan Buruk's men were unbeaten in their opening six top-flight fixtures, recording five straight wins following a goalless draw in their first game, at Kayserispor.
But it looked like that record might be in trouble, when Renaldo Cephas struck just after the break for the 12th-placed visitors at Rams Park.
Wilfried Zaha, who will, of course, be looking forward to a return to M16, had other ideas though.
The former Crystal Palace man equalised eight minutes later, firing into the roof of the net after superbly slaloming through the Ankaragucu defence.
