Ushuru and Talanta continued with their good run in the National Super League after winning their respective matches at Camp Toyoyo yesterday.

The taxmen beat Administration Police 2-0 to open a three points (22 points) gap at the top over second-placed Talanta who overcame Fortune Sacco with the same margin.

David Otieno scored from the spot before Michael Osundwas doubled the lead to ensure Ushuru maintain their unbeaten run.

Antony Gichu was the hero for Talanta grabbing a brace in the 19th and 56th minutes to take Abdallah Juma's side points tally to 19.

Wazito dropped to the third spot after suffering a 2-1 defeat away to Bidco United as fourth placed Kisumu AllStars secured narrow 1-0 over visiting Kibera Black Stars.

Talanta captain Michael Muya was full of praise for his teammates after picking up their sixth win of the campaign.

"So far so good, our campaign is on the right track and we are determined to continue working hard for better results. But to keep on getting such results, we must remain focused," Michael Muya told The Standard Sports.

In Kisumu, Dennis Oalo's first half goal is all that Kisumu AllStars needed to beat Kibera Black Stars and secure their third win.
