Wuhan Three Towns extended their unbeaten run in the Chinese Super League (CSL) to 15 games following a resounding 5-1 win over Shenzhen on Sunday.

Marcao's goal in the fifth minute led Wuhan to take control, and the Brazilian striker then extended the lead to 2-0 with a header in the 35th minute, bringing his goal tally to a league-leading 16.

In a five-minute span starting in the 61st minute, Wuhan scored three times, with Brazil's Davidson contributing two assists and a goal.

Frank Acheampong's penalty in the 72nd minute gave Shenzhen a goal back, but Shenzhen defender Jiang Zhipeng was red-carded for shoving Wuhan's Deng Hanwen.

Wuhan continue to lead the table with 14 wins and one draw, four points ahead of second-placed Shandong Taishan.

Elsewhere, Meizhou Hakka rallied past Dalian Pro to take a 4-2 home victory, despite Dalian scoring a lightning-fast goal in the opening minutes.

Shang Yin gave Dalian the lead with a left-footed shot inside two minutes, but Rodrigo Henrique's 16th-minute lob shot leveled the score.

Cui Wei then scored for Meizhou just minutes after entering the field. Dalian then conceded two more goals from defensive errors, before Borislav Tsonev scored his first goal for Dalian with a header.
