Peter Shalulile found his scoring boots after going seven games without a goal to his name as Mamelodi Sundowns cruised to a 3-0 DStv Premiership victory against TS Galaxy on Monday at Loftus Versveld.

The Namibian international buried a first-half brace before Thembinkosi Lorch came off the substitute bench to secure the three points and further steer Sundowns towards an unprecedented seventh consecutive league crown.

The Brazilians, now on 59 points after 23 league matches, could be confirmed as champions if second-place Stellenbosch loses to Golden Arrows at Danie Craven Stadium on Wednesday (17:30) without having to kick a ball.
