Plateau United continued their impressive start to the 2016/17 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season with yet another victory on Wednesday.

The Jos-based side, who are unbeaten in the league thus far, defeated El-Kanemi Warriors 2-0 at the Rwang Pam Stadium to remain top.

First half strikes from Salomon Junior and Jimmy Isaac was enough for Plateau to win for the fourth time in six games.

The Jos-based club have now garnered an amazing 17 points from a possible 21.

Remo Stars, meanwhile, suffered a disappointing 0-1 home loss to Niger Tornadoes, while Gombe United defeated Nasarawa United by the same margin.

In Umuahia, Abia Warriors came from behind to hold visiting Sunshine Stars 1-1.

Continental representatives, Enugu Rangers, Rivers United, FC IfeanyiUbah and Wiki Tourist were all excused due to their weekend involvement in CAF competitions.
