Celtic leave 'Downs in ruins

Pretoria - Mamelodi Sundowns' slim hopes of retaining the PSL title this season were left in tatters after they crashed to a shock 5-0 defeat to Bloemfontein Celtic on Wednesday evening.

Pitso Mosimane's men entered the Lucas Moripe Stadium encounter a seemingly insurmountable 13 points adrift of leaders Kaizer Chiefs, but two games in hand meant they at least had the chance to keep the Soweto giants honest.

However, the plan went out the window almost immediately as Lerato Lamola started the onslaught in the very first minute, slotting home a neat finish to leave the hosts stunned.
