DStv Premiership Match Report: Peter Shalulile Hattrick Fires Mamelodi Sundowns to 6-0 Win Over Golden Arrows

• Another Peter Shalulile took Mamelodi Sundowns towards their fifth consecutive DStv Premiership title
• Shalulile was joined on the score sheet in a 6-0 win against Golden Arrows by Gaston Sirino, Pavol Safranko and Kermit Erasmus
• The win took the Brazilians to within two wins of a record-extending 12th Premier Soccer League title

Mamelodi Sundowns was in searing form as it dispatched Golden Arrows 6-0 in the DStv Premiership this afternoon.

A hat-trick from Peter Shalulile - his 19th, 20th and 21st league goals of the season - plus goals from Gaston Sirino, Pavol Safranko and Kermit Erasmus saw the Brazilians march ruthlessly towards their fifth consecutive league title, a record extension.

The win means that Mamelodi Sundowns could officially win the league with two more wins or earlier if other results go their way.

The Namibian sharpshooter Shalulie was now within four goals of equalling Collins Mbesuma's record of 25 league goals in a season that was set in 2004/2005 with Kaizer Chiefs. This was also the first time a striker had scored 20 league goals in a season since Siyabonga Nomvethe did so in the 2011/12 campaign for Moroka Swallows.

Peter Shalulile chasing 20 league goals: Who was the last PSL player to reach the magical mark?

The red-hot Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile is on the verge of doing something no player in the Premier Soccer League has done in 10 years.

As reported on Sports BriefsLast night's hat-trick against Moroka Swallows took the Namibian goal-poacher to 18 league goals this campaign. He has six matches to reach the now-magical 20-goal mark.

The last time a player did that was Siyabonga Nomvethe, who netted 20 times for Moroka Swallows in the 2011/12 Absa Premiership campaign. Since then, few players have come close, with four of these players - including Shalulile a few seasons ago - hitting 16 goals.
