Djulbic, Griffiths on target in CSL

Rafa Jorda, Dino Djulbic, Chen Jie and Sun Feng were on target for the host, with Joel Griffiths and Didier Drogba replying for Shanghai.

Jiangsu Shuntian missed the chance to move clear of its rivals at the top of the table as it fell to a 1-0 loss at Qingdao Zhongneng.

Aziz Ibrahimov scored the only goal after 38 minutes to inflict just a fourth defeat of the season on Jiangsu.

It will lose top spot in the table on Sunday evening (local time) if Guangzhou Evergrande wins its game in hand against Shandong Luneng.

Beijing Guoan was beaten 3-1 by Dalian Aerbin to leave it outside the top three.

Seydou Keita gave Aerbin a 37th-minute lead with Peter Utaka's brace after 45 and 74 minutes putting it firmly in the driving seat.

An own goal from Wang Hongyou got Beijing on the scoreboard but it came too late for the visitor.

Shanxi Zhongxi remains second from bottom in the standings after a 1-0 loss at home to Tianjin Taida, whose goal came from Vladimir Jovanicic.

James Chamanga scored twice for Dalian Shide but it was not enough to stave off a 3-2 defeat at Liaoning.

Yu Hanchao, Milos Trifunovic and a Peng Lu own goal secured the points for Liaoning.
