Turkey: The climax
There were amazing scenes in Bursa last night as unheralded Bursaspor became only the fifth club (and only the second outside of Istanbul) to win the Turkish league. A Pablo Batalla strike and a İbrahim Toraman own goal earned Bursaspor the victory over Beşiktaş that sealed the title. What's most impressive about the victory is that it's been [...]

Jack Rodwell made it 2-0 before the break with a left-footed strike that went through a sea of bodies. Rodwell added the third after the break with [...]
