'I won't gloat', says Mngqithi after handing Sundowns first defeat

GOLDEN Arrows handed Mamelodi Sundowns their first defeat of the Betway Premiership season in Umlazi, as Sede Dion's first-half header sealed a win at the King Zwelithini Stadium on Wednesday.

The victory ended a run of three consecutive losses for Arrows and lifted them back towards mid-table, though they remain on just 10 points from their opening eight matches.

Against the champions, however, they showed a level of organisation and cutting edge that has often been missing.

“With beating Sundowns, I don't look at it as beating my former team,” Mnggithi said after the match.

“It would feel wrong to gloat about beating Sundowns, as this team has done so much for me and my family, and I will always be grateful to this club. I never have feelings of thinking I’m better or what (just because I won against them)”
