Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane says the club 100 percent deserved to win the Absa Premiership this season.

The Brazilians clinched the title in style with a 3-0 thumping of University of Pretoria on Wednesday evening, with Anthony Laffor getting a hat-trick.

Mosimane was obviously a happy man after the game and praised his players for the work they put in throughout the season.

‘When you score 53 goals in 28 games and you lose only three matches, when you go 20 games unbeaten, I think then you deserve to win the title,” he told SuperSport afterwards.

“We have worked very hard, doing lots of match analysis both individually and as a group. If you do that, you should be able to lift the trophy.”

The title was Sundowns’ seventh since the PSL was formed in 1996/97. Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are next closest with four titles apiece.
