We look at the five talking points from this past weekend PSL matches.
Orlando Pirates make light work of Amazulu
Orlando Pirates ended their three-match winless run in emphatic fashion as they romped to a 4-1 victory over AmaZulu at Orlando Stadium on Saturday evening.
Amazulu drew first blood, claiming the lead through Jabulani Ncobeni in the 17th minute of play. However, Pirates quickly stormed back to draw level and eventually went on to win by a massive margin, with Kudakwashe Mahachi, Luvuyo Memela, Justin Shonga and Ben Motshwari getting their names on the scoresheet.

Masandawana drew first blood, claiming the lead after just seven minutes of play thanks to Phakamani Mahlambi, before Gift Motupa levelled matters on the half-hour mark.
