SuperSport United defender Clayton Daniels feels the club could still mount a late challenge for the Absa Premiership title if they remain consistent.

SuperSport claimed a third straight victory in the league as Daniels' towering header secured a 1-0 win over Orlando Pirates.

As a result, the Pretoria outfit have jumped up to fourth spot and sit five points behind league leaders Bidvest Wits.

“We had a bit of a hiccup with injuries, a lot of injuries in the crucial time of the season. We brought in two players who were going to bring value to the team and competition. Today you saw Jamie Webber standing in for Teboho Mokoena, he played a very good game. I’m proud of him. If the competition can stay like this then we can improve as a team," Daniels told SuperSport after the game.

“We must stay in the pack, we know what happened with Sundowns last night, 1-1. We’re looking, but we’re not putting ourselves ahead of ourselves. So we’re just taking it simple.

"One game a time, stay in the pack maybe the last three games or so we can creep in, you never know. With performances like this, week in and week out, we give ourselves a chance."
