Muang Thong United remain top of the league following a 4-2 success at Samut Songkhram.

Jay Bothroyd took his tally of goals for the season to six with a brace, while Samuel Ajayi’s two goals were in vain for second-bottom Songkhram.

Singhtarua slipped to third following a disappointing 3-0 defeat at Police United in a game that saw both sides reduced to 10 men, while Chonburi’s 2-0 loss at defending champions Buriram United saw them drop to fifth.

Japanese striker Kai Hirano did the damage for Buriram, scoring both goals.

TOT leapfrogged Chonburi into fourth with a 1-0 success at Songkhla United, who remain in the relegation zone following a poor start to the season.

Midfielder Santirad Wiangin was on target twice in struggling Sisaket’s 4-2 win at PTT Rayong, but bottom club Air Force Central are still waiting for a first win after a 1-0 away loss against Suphanburi.

Osotspa and Bangkok Glass each missed the chance to gain ground on the top sides as they played out a 2-2 draw.

Elsewhere, Ratchaburi’s clash with Chainat Hornbill and the meeting between Chiangrai United and Army United ended 1-1.
