Olympiacos re-establish lead

(PA) Sunday 9 January 2011

Olympiacos re-established their five-point lead at the top of the Super League as two second-half goals gave them a 2-0 win at Kerkyra.

They got a helping hand from their hosts as an own goal from Thanassis Tsigas set them on their way ten minutes after the break, before Kevin Mirallas' 70th-minute strike made it 2-0.

The win put Olympiacos five clear of second-placed Panathinaikos, who won yesterday, and 15 clear of the chasing pack, in the shape of AEK Athens and PAOK Salonika, who both won today.

AEK were 2-0 up at Panseriakos through Ismael Blanco and Nikos Liberopoulos before Georgios Georgiadis pulled one back just before the break. An 82nd-minute penalty from Liberopoulos sealed a 3-1 win.

A single goal from Dimitris Salpingidis in the 32nd minute was enough for PAOK to beat Asteras Tripoli 1-0.

Elsewhere, first-half goals from Christopher Katongo and George Boateng gave Xanthi a 2-0 win at Panionios, Constantin Iacob scored on the stroke of half-time as Iraklis beat Atromitos 1-0, and Ergotelis played out a goalless draw with Olympiacos Volou.
