Shandong Luneng had been settling in the bottom three area of the 2016 Chinese Super League season table for several weeks before they pulled off three victories in their last five outings to climb to the 11th spot of the overall standings at the moment.
Their last game was a 4-1 demolition of reeling team Tianjin Teda on the road at the Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium on August 20, Xinhuanet reported.
Newly-acquired forward Papiss Cissé scored the opening goal of the contest at the fifth minute before teammate Dai Lin doubled the lead after only six minutes. Another newly-signed import, Italian striker Graziano Pellè, then netted a brace in the second half, at the 52nd and 84th minutes, to make it a 4-0 count with only six minutes left before full time.
Tianjin's Gabonese forward Malick Evouna then scored a consolation goal in injury time to help his team avoid a shutout.
Meanwhile, Changchun Yatai pulled off a 1-0 upset win over Yanbian Funde at their home field of Development Area Stadium on Aug. 21, as per Soccerway.
Local defender Pei Shuai scored the winning goal of the match two minutes before the hour mark off an assist by Bolivian striker Marcelo Martins Moreno.
The win was Changchun's second in their last three games, but they are still at the bottom of the 16-team CSL table with eight games left in their campaign this term.
