As much as Sekhukhune United coach Eric Tinkler admits they're on course to challenge for the league title, he thinks perennial champions, Mamelodi Sundowns, are still hot favourites to clinch what will be their ninth championship on the trot.
On Tuesday at FNB Stadium, Sekhukhune thumped Kaizer Chiefs 3-1 to move to the top of the table, also maintaining their unbeaten run in the league.
Bradley Grobler netted a brace, while Thabang Monare also registered his name on the scoreboard, with Flavio Silva scoring the hosts consolation goal.
