Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou says the 6-0 victory over TS Galaxy was a statement to those that have doubted his players’ commitment.
Pirates thrashed a 10-man Galaxy in Mbombela on Sunday to move to the top of the Betway Premiership table with 51 points, a point ahead of Mamelodi Sundowns in second place who have a game in hand.

Ouaddou congratulated his charges for their ruthless display emphasizing that Pirates will fight to the end.
The coach also added that his players respond well to fans who don’t boo them.
“I think more than a reaction it’s a fantastic game for us,” said Ouaddou on SuperSport TV.
“It’s a very good answer for people who have a doubt about the commitment of the boys. You know I always say that there is nobody in our team that come out on the pitch willing to lose or willing to draw.
“And I think some people have to understand that all players are sweating in their shirt. It’s simple we scored six goals today because we have fantastic support by the true fans.
“Every time when we come here in that city we have a fantastic support. Every time when we go to Durban, we have fantastic support and the players they feel that fantastic support.
“But unfortunately, when you miss the ball or you draw people start to boo the players. This is not true supporters, and you can see that when people support very well the players, the players they give everything.
“So, congratulations to the boys today. We sent just a strong message that we are not tired, and we are going to fight until the last second like I said.”
