Sundowns romped to a 3-1 victory over Marumo Gallants in front of a packed Free State Stadium on Thursday evening thanks to a Peter Shalulile hat-trick.

Despite the glittering performance from the Brazilians, the cloud of doubt still hovered over the Chloorkop-based outfit, with claims that two unnamed players showed up to the club's training base under the influence of alcohol.

Mokwena was once again quizzed about the matter after their win in Bloemfontein.

"Well, I've said, you look for negatives from me about my players, I don't have. I will never speak negative about my players, never, ever, ever. So, I've got no comment on that," he told journalists.

Sundowns face a busy month of March in which they will take on Stellenbosch, Al Ahly, Royal AM, Al Hilal and Coton Sport.
