BEIJING - Brazilian forward Ademilson gifted two goals and one assist to help Wuhan Three Towns crush Wuhan Yangtze River 5-0 in the ninth round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on Friday.

So far, the newly-promoted Three Towns has extended its unbeaten streak to nine matches, and secured its top position with one round to go in the first phase.

All players performed well in attack and defense today. But there is still a very long way to go this season, and it can be consuming for players' energy. Hopefully we can make adjustments to keep every player in full physical condition.

Brazilian striker Davidson broke the deadlock for Three Towns in the 18th minute by taking on a piercing pass from Zhang Hui and sending the ball into the corner. 15 minutes later, Ademilson's volley bypassed Yangtze River's goalkeeper and flew-in.

Ademilson scored a brace in the 82nd minute through a penalty kick, and Yang Kuo capped Three Towns' lopsided victory six minutes later.
