Fenerbahce beat Trabzonspor 3-2 to reduce points difference with Super Lig leaders Galatasaray to 5

Fenerbahce beat Trabzonspor 3-2 with a late goal on Sunday to reduce the points difference with Turkish Super Lig leaders Galatasaray to five. Fenerbahce are at the second spot with 23 points, five point behind undefeated leaders Galatasaray, while Trabzonspor lay at the 11th spot with 12 points. After the match, Fenerbahce's Portuguese head coach Jose Mourinho criticized Video Assistant Referee (VAR) officer Atilla Karaoglan's calls as he gave Trabzonspor two penalties in a matter of minutes. "We didn't see Atilla Karaoglan on the pitch, there was a young referee on the pitch, but the referee at the back was Karaoglan. He managed to become the most important man of the match from an invisible man," said Mourinho and added, "We don't want him. We don't want this referee. We don't want him as a VAR referee, as a field referee. We especially don't want him as a VAR referee." Mourinho emphasized his opinion that the VAR referee's decisions were not fair for his team and stated, "The tackle on Bright. Was the VAR referee drinking coffee at the time? He didn't see it? Was he drinking tea when he should have given us a penalty? Is that why he didn't see it?" The 61-year-old also hinted that the football authorities was against Fenerbahce by saying, "I am angry with the Fenerbahce managers who brought me here, they told me half of this. If they told me the whole story, I wouldn't have come to Fenerbahce." Mourinho previously put his laptop in front of a TV camera to protest VAR ruling disallowing Edin Dzeko's goal for Fenerbahce as offside during a Super Lig game against Antalyaspor in September.
