Power Dynamos today powered to an important victory in their quest for their first league title in 11 years after an emphatic home win over Red Arrows at Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe.
Power swept their nearest challengers Arrows off the park with a resounding 4-0 win.
Luka Lungu scored a hat trick with goals in the 9th, 77th and 82nd minutes.
Joseph Sitali added Power’s second goal from the penalty spot in the 28th minute after Referee Bernard Chabala pointed to the spot following an Alex Sichone handball.
Power have 44 points, three more than Arrows who stay put in second place despite the defeat.
And Zanaco moved from 4th to 3rd on 39th points after beating bottom placed Kalewa 1-0 at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka.
Moses Phiri scored the game solitary goal in the 50th minute.
They replaced Konkola Blades who slipped to 5th placed after a shock 1-0 away loss at Kabwe Warriors.
Warriors recorded their first win in six games thanks to a 39th minute goal scored by Victor Nyendwa.
However, Warriors moved just one place up the table from 15th to 14th exchanging places with Lime Hotspurs.
Lime on the other hand lost 1-0 away to Nchanga and should feel a little hard done by after Mathews Macha scored a late winner for the hosts in the 90th minute.
And in Mazabuka, Nakambala Leopards suffered a rare home loss to Green Buffaloes who also recorded a rare win beating their hosts 1-0.
Defender Sandia Zulu scored the goal that left a bitter taste in the Sweet town.
Elsewhere, defending league champions Zesco drew 0-0 with Roan United at Trade Fair Grounds in Ndola.
It was the same situation across town at Dola Hill where Forest Rangers and Green Eagles played out to a stalemate.
Meanwhile, Nkana and Nkwazi will play on Sunday.
