Kaizer Chiefs registered their third consecutive victory in the DStv Premiership after claiming a 3-1 victory over Swallows FC at the Dobsonville Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Stuart Baxter made six changes to his side that beat AmaZulu last Wednesday as Ramahlwe Mphahlel, Anthony Akumu Agay, Austin Dube, Kearyn Baccus, Khama Billiat and Kgaogelo Sekgota came in for Njabulo Blom, Cole Alexander, Reeve Frosler, Njabulo Ngcobo, Kgaogelo Sekgota and Phathutshedzo Nange.

Amakhosi came close to opening the scoring in the 12th minute but Bernard Parker’s half-volley effort was saved by Jody February.

The visitors did manage to take the lead just before the break as Keagan Dolly slotted the ball home from close range after he was played through by Billiat.

Chiefs then made it 2-0 within seconds when Billiat latched on to an inviting pass from Mphahlele before firing his effort into the roof of the net as the game went into the half time break.

Amakhosi grabbed their third goal early in the second half when Billiat found the back of the net after cutting through the Swallows defence.

Swallows managed to pull a goal back in the 62nd minute when Lebohang Mokoena made it 3-1 with a classy finish after he received a cross from Grant Margeman.

The Glamour Boys opted to make their first substitution six minutes later when Mashiane was taken off and replaced by Siphosakhe Ntiya-Ntiya before bringing on Lebogang Manyama and Kgaogelo Sekgota for Billiat and Dolly in the 81st minute.

Baxter made his final substitutions with two minutes left to play as Parker and Dube was taken off in place of Sabelo Radebe and Siyabonga Ngezana.

The Dube Birds pushed forward in the closing stages of the game but were unable to find the back of the net as Amakhosi held on for the win and all three points.
