The former Liverpool star then turned provider in the 39th minute, setting up Noah Saviolo, who doubled Trabzonspor’s advantage with a composed finish.
Salah added his second goal shortly before half-time after Trabzonspor’s pressing forced a mistake in the Galatasaray defence. The forward took advantage of the opportunity to give his team a 3-0 lead at the break.
He completed his hat-trick in the 80th minute, again breaking away from the Galatasaray defence before finishing into the bottom corner. The goal capped an outstanding individual display.
The result was particularly significant because Galatasaray had entered the match unbeaten and top of the Turkish Super Lig. Their defeat leaves them three points ahead of Trabzonspor, who moved up to fifth place with 10 points after six matches.
Salah has now scored seven league goals this season, putting him at the top of the Super Lig scoring charts. He has also contributed two assists in his six league appearances, according to reports.
The victory also gave new Trabzonspor manager Thomas Reis an impressive start to his tenure. The German coach took charge following the departure of Fatih Tekke and immediately oversaw a commanding win against the league leaders.
For Salah, the performance offered a memorable introduction to one of Turkish football’s biggest fixtures and strengthened Trabzonspor’s position near the top of the early-season standings.Mohamed Salah produced a standout performance on Saturday as Trabzonspor defeated Turkish Super Lig leaders Galatasaray 4-0, with the Egyptian forward scoring three goals and providing an assist.
