The ping-pong between Vipers SC and NEC at the top of the StarTimes Uganda Premier League continued on Friday as the former thrashed Mbale Heroes 4-0 to reclaim the summit.
Vipers go-to men, Milton Karisa and Allan Okello, were, well – the go-to men, again; each scoring a double at the Mbale Municipal Stadium.
Karisa gave the Venoms the lead after just 10 minutes before Vipers Fans Man of the Match, Okello, made it 2-0 just a minute into the second half.
Okello, scoring his 10th goal of the season to top the charts, got Vipers third and his second of the day on 74 minutes before Karisa completed the rout three minutes later.
Vipers eighth win in 13 matches – same as NEC – moved them to 28 points, leapfrogging the latter by a mark. Mbale, who were losing their eighth game in 13, remained second from bottom on just nine points.
