Şahan was full of praise for the fans after the game but believes he could have put on a better performance.
“Cars run on petrol, football teams run on supporters, they are our fuel,” Şahan told Lig Tv.
“I am pleased to have scored but I made too many passing errors and could have played better but we have the three points and that is what is important.”
Şahan completed 41 passes but only had a 71 percent accuracy. The Turkish international was given a 7.52 rating by Whoscored for his performance against Mersin.
