“The title race? The only thing I know is that we won today.

“It was very important for us and I’m very happy with this victory.”

Trabzonspor manager, Okan Buruk had positive words to share about André Onana after the encounter.

“We created chances, but in the last minutes, the game was very ineffective.

“Andre Onana managed the time well, as he often does. He broke the match’s rhythm, and the yellow card came late. There was very little added time.

“And the match ended without the added time being played.”

André Onana has been in fine form for Trabzonspor since joining them on loan from English Premier League giants Manchester United last year.

The former Ajax and Inter Milan shot stopper has made 24 appearances, conceding 29 goals and keeping six clean sheets this campaign.

He has however been overlooked by national team selectors despite his blistering form at club level.
