Kenya Police impressive runoff form continued on Wednesday when they hammered Bidco United 3-0 in a midweek FKF Premier League clash played at St. Sebastian Park in Murang'a County.

Since firing Salim Babu, Police who have since been under the tutelage of Burundian tactician Etienne Ndayiragije made it three wins in a row after former Gor Mahia captain Kenneth Muguna scored a brace.

David Odhiambo put the Law Enforcers ahead in the 14th minute before Muguna made sure Police took a comfortable 2-0 into the break when he found the back of the net two minutes to half time.

In the final half, Muguna completed his brace to seal a 3-0 win for Police.

The Burundian tactician begun his reign with a 3-1 win over Nairobi City Stars on December 4 before narrowly edging out Mara Sugar 1-0 over the weekend.

At Dandora Stadium, Nairobi City Stars scored late to deny Kariobangi Sharks maximum points after forcing a 2-2 draw.

Interestingly, it was City Stars who took the lead through Bajaber Mohamed, but Kariobangi Sharks responded with an equalizer from Ghai Pnachol, leaving the score 1-1 at halftime.

Early in the second half, Andreas Odhiambo put Sharks ahead, but City Stars levelled the score thanks to a goal from Brian Mzee at the hour mark for 2-2 draw.

In Machakos, FC Talanta bounced back from last weekend's defeat to Shabana FC with a 2-0 win over Mara Sugar.

Clinton Machaka and the in-form Emmanuel Osoro were on target for Talanta.

The win pushed them two points off the relegation zone.

The defeat however saw the newbies struggles in the league continue as their winless run stretched to six matches where they have drawn two and lost four.
