Mwape Musonda scored a double to lead Black Leopards to a 2-0 victory at Thohoyandou Stadium on Saturday afternoon - a third successive Absa Premiership win for the Limpopo side.

Matsatsanta welcomed backed Thabo Mnyamane, Dean Furman and Bradley Grobler from injury, but the trio couldn't prevent Matsatsantsa from falling to another defeat as they remain in eighth - 10 points behind log leaders Bidvest Wits.

Musonda has now scored six goals in his last six league games for Lidoda Duvha who moved up to 11th place on the log standings.

The Zambian forward opened the scoring in the 53rd minute from the penalty spot before firing home a Tshwarelo Bereng's cross three minutes from relegation time to lead Leopards to a third successive win under Dylan Kerr with a well taken brace.

The former Gor Mahia coach has sparked a revival in Limpopo with the club now a mere four points off the top eight.
