Mamelodi Sundowns sink Cape Town City to knock Wits off the top

With this victory, that was secured by goals from man of the match Lebohang Maboe, Anthony Laffor and Phakamani Mahlambi, the defending champions have climbed to the summit for the first time this season where they have been playing catch up due to Caf Champions League commitments.

For City, they remain fourth on the table with 33 points after 21 matches but they are under pressure from SuperSport United who are breathing down their neck on fifth one point less having played the same number of games. In the midfield, Mosimane went for Andile Jali for Tiyani Mabunda, Gaston Sirino for Phakamani Mahlambi and Laffor for Lyle Lakay as he freshen things up and his move paid dividends as they looked solid.

City roared back in the game two minutes after the break through a penalty that was taken by Riyaad Norodien after referee Olani Kwinda judged Langerman to have handled the ball inside the box while trying to clear a shot from Siphelele Mthembu.
