(Reuters) - Shanghai SIPG's Brazilian striker Elkeson scored the winner against his former side Guangzhou Evergrande on Tuesday to seal a 2-1 victory in a top-of-the-table clash that opened up a four-point gap at the Chinese Super League summit.
The teams were meeting in a rescheduled game after the fixture had been postponed last month due to bad weather. The win moves SIPG clear of second-placed Evergrande, who are attempting to win the title for a record-extending eighth straight year.
