CSKA have crushed their main rivals Spartak in Moscow’s biggest derby with a five goal blitz.
Brazilian international Vagner Love bagged a first half hat-trick in the 5-1 drubbing. He scored his first after some woeful Spartak defending. He then doubled his tally with a great header before knocking in his third, going one on one with the goalkeeper just before the break.
Things got worse for Spartak as Milosh Krasic added the fourth, another header.
Nikita Bazhenov did get one back for the red and whites.
But CSKA weren't finished as Erkin rounded off the 5-1 win. Most of the Spartak fans had left the stadium by that time.
Elsewhere, Amkar's title aspirations were boosted with a 2-0 win at home to Luch. The team from Perm are now just one point away from Rubin.
