'They told me I was past my prime,' says Grobler on silencing Chiefs

SEKHUKHUNE United are reaping the rewards of their investment in experienced striker Bradley Grobler. His strong start to the season has propelled them to the top of the Betway Premiership log.

Grobler etched his enduring class into another chapter of his career, inspiring Sekhukhune to end Kaizer Chiefs' unbeaten start to the season - becoming the first side to pierce Amakhosi's defence this campaign.

The 37-year-old striker was the heartbeat of Babina Noko's 3-1 triumph at the FNB Stadium, scoring a goal in each half to lift his side to the summit of the Premiership with 16 points, two more than second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns.

While Chiefs entered the contest hoping to stake their claim as early challengers, they were handed a harsh lesson by a Šekhukhune side whose unbeaten run remains intact, and their ambitions now harder to ignore.
