Former Everton and Crystal Palace striker Cenk Tosun avoided serious injury after an attempted kung-fu kick by a fan amid ugly scenes following the full-time whistle in Besiktas' 3-2 win over Ankaraguru on Sunday night.

Dele Alli netted his first goal for the Black Eagles in a Turkish Super Lig clash marred by a pitch invasion.

After the final whistle, a shirt-less fan invaded the pitch before landing a kung-fu kick on Besiktas striker Tosun.

The assailant was promptly thrown to the turf by Tosun's team-mate Josef de Souza before being apprehended by stewards.

Teammate Wout Weghorst said: “It is impossible to say that these things are normal. So many wrong things happened.

"I know that Turkish people act with their emotions, I love that. Still, this is unacceptable. A very unfortunate event took place, someone hit Cenk.

"Turkey is a beautiful country. In order for the Super League to develop further, this should be punished in the most severe way so that it does not happen again. I think something unacceptable has happened."
