Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena heaped praise on his team and technical staff after their impressive 4-0 victory over Golden Arrows on Tuesday evening.

The Brazilians maintain their perfect start to the campaign after clinching their third consecutive win in the DStv Premiership thanks to a brace by Lesiba Nku and goals from Peter Shalulile and Grant Kekana.

As a result of their win, Sundowns remain at the top of the league standings with nine points from their first three games while Arrows are placed sixth with four points after three matches.

“Congratulations to Masandawana, the entire family, congratulations to the team. I think there are some games we’ve played better, smoother but today I think we took our chances,” Mokwena told SuperSport TV after the game.

“And good to see that we scored also two set-pieces and congratulations in particular to Michael Loftman, to coach Wendell (Robinson) especially these two, they work very hard.

“And congratulations to the team, the supporters, nice to see them happy, a good performance I thought.”

Shalulile sustain an injury but Mokwena revealed they are waiting on the results from the medical team while he was also pleased to see the likes of Junior Mendieta, Terrence Mashego, Abdelmounaim Boutil and Bongani Zungu were given crucial minutes on the field.

“We’ll wait for medical feedback but good to see Junior (Mendieta) on the pitch, Terrence (Mashego) on the pitch, good to see ‘AB’ (Abdelmounaim Boutil) on the pitch, (Bongani) Zungu on the pitch also getting 45 minutes in his belt, they’ll get better,” he added.

“And the better they get, the more competitive the training is and the more quality we can produce on weekends. Congratulations to the team, very proud of the players.”
