TWO goals each from Daniel Green and Trivante Stewart took Mount Pleasant to a comfortable 4-1 win over Tivoli Gardens in the Jamaica Premier League on Sunday.

Green’s goals came in the 16th and 62nd minutes as he took his tally to 12, one more than Atapharoy Bygrave of Dunbeholden who had led the goalscoring charts almost all season. Stewart, who was scoring his first brace of the season, got his goals in the 76th and 86th minutes.

Warner Brown got the consolation goal for Tivoli Gardens in the 54th minute.

The win took Mount Pleasant up to 34 points.

There was very little between the two teams before Green scored the game’s opening goal from the penalty spot. Tkevin Garnett brought down Green in the penalty area and Referee Christopher Mason had no hesitation in pointing to the spot.

Green picked himself up off the ground and fired into the left corner of the goal, sending Kewong Watkins the wrong way to make it one-nil.

Mount Pleasant held the lead until the half-time break, but Tivoli were let back into the contest nine minutes after the restart when Shaven Paul failed to gather the ball which spilled from his grasp for a thankful Brown to fire home from close range and level the scores.

But Green, who had drawn level with Bygrave on 11 goals when he got his first of the game, then climbed to the summit of the Golden Boot race when he broke the Tivoli defensive line, rounded Watkins, and rolled the ball into an empty net while under pressure from the Tivoli custodian to restore his team’s one-goal advantage.

Stewart then got in on the act when he headed home from a right-sided free kick after being left unmarked at the back post, making it 3-1 to the hosts with less than a quarter of the game to play.

The burly striker, who joined the team from Molynes United during the last transfer window, then put the icing in the cake when he lobbed an advancing Watkins four minutes from time to give Mount Pleasant their biggest win since Nicky Eaden took over the reins from Wally Downes.
