Pattaya United predictably fell to their twelfth defeat of the season when they were outclassed 3-0 by league leaders Buriram United at the Nongprue Stadium in Pattaya last Sunday.

Buriram’s Philippine international Javier Patino fired a brace of goals, the first coming eight minutes before the break, following which he wrapped up proceedings with a fierce shot into the top corner of the Pattaya net for his second in the 70th minute.  Five minutes later, Carmelo Gonzalez tapped home the visitor’s third goal from close range to complete another miserable evening for Pattaya’s Dolphin fans.

The win allowed Buriram to extend their lead at the top of the table to 4 points after Muang Thong United, under the stewardship of new manager Winfried Schafer, lost 1-0 at Bangkok Glass to a goal from Piyachart Tamaphan.

Meanwhile Chonburi FC kept up their pursuit of the top two with a 1-0 win over Police United.  Veteran striker Pipob On-mo scored the only goal of the game in the 64th minute.

The Premier League takes a short break now for one weekend and on the return to action, Chonburi will visit struggling Samut Songkhram on Saturday, June 22, while a day later Pattaya United will take the long trip north to play Changrai United.
