Super League leaders Olympiakos Piraeus maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a 4-0 away win over 10-man AEK Athens in Sunday’s derby at the Olympic Stadium.
Leonardo Jardim’s champions went ahead in the 23rd minute through Djamel Abdoun’s penalty after AEK defender Yago Fernandez was sent off for a professional foul on Kostas Mitroglou.
It came as no surprise when Mitroglou added a second for Olympiakos three minutes before the hour mark with a fine individual strike.
Goals late on from David Fuster and Mitroglou completed Olympiakos’s biggest win against AEK away from home and capped a miserable night for Ewald Lienen’s side, who are fast becoming isolated at the bottom of the table with just five points from 10 matches.
Olympiakos have 28 points and a five-point lead over second-placed PAOK Salonika.
