Former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge scored his first goal for Trabzonspor as he helped his side to victory against Gaziantep.

He opened the scoring for the six-time Turkish champions, firing into the bottom corner from just inside the box.

Five minutes later, the 30-year-old provided the assist for on-loan Crystal Palace striker Alexander Sorloth to score their second.

Sturridge joined Trabzonspor in August having been released by the Reds.

The England international - who also played for Manchester City, Chelsea, Bolton and West Brom - won the Champions League with Liverpool last season.

Trabzonspor are top of the Super Lig having picked up 15 points from their opening eight matches.
