Published on: 08 February 2020

Ghana forward Kevin Prince Boateng came off the bench to score on his debut for Besiktas as they thumped Gazientep in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday afternoon. 

The on-loan Fiorentina star replaced Adem Ljajic just after the break and the 32-year old took the opportunity to net his side's second in their 3-0 triumph.

Burak Yilmaz opened the scoring in the first half from the spot before Jeremain Lens completed the win with an injury time goal.

"Happy for the gol and the win of the team! It couldn’t have been a better debut!." Boateng posted on Twitter after the game.

The nomadic attacker joined the White and Black from the Italian side on loan until the end of the season, with Besiktas having the option of making the move a permanent one.

The victory lift Besiktas to seventh on the table after 21 games.
