Vipers SC have opened a five-point gap on top of the Uganda Premier League after defeating BUL FC 3-2 in an entertaining clash staged in Njeru.
The league leaders aimed at bagging maximum points following KCCA FC's win against Maroons to avoid pressure from the Taxmen, and it was Tito Okello who was in inspired form on Sunday to bag a hat-trick for the visitors.
BUL conceded a penalty in the 18th minute when Denis Okot fouled Okello and the referee pointed to the penalty spot. The striker kept his cool to give the Venoms a deserved lead.
