The in-form Mount Pleasant extended their winning streak to 8 consecutive matches in the Wray and Nephew Jamaica Premier league, with  3-2 win over Racing United on Monday to close out the action on match day 17.

Mount Pleasant went in-front through  first half goals by Shaqueil Bradford in the 8th minute and Raheem Edwards in the 40th.

However, they  were  reduced  to  10 players a  minute  after  the  half  time  break when  when defender Gadail Irving was red carded .

Bradford  struck  his  second  in minute 67, before racing responded through Tajay Grant and Stevaughn Spence.

Mount  Pleasant  coach  Theodore  Whitmore  says  despite  being  reduced  to  10  players and  the  fightback from Racing  United it  is  the  “win” that  counts.

In the night’s other game Arnett Gardens jumped into  second place with 37 points , thanks  to  a one nil win over the visiting Mobay United courtesy of a 7th minute strike from Joel Jones. 

Mobay  United  now  slips  to  third  remaining  on  34  points.
