Beijing, July 22(Sinosoc) -- Dalian Shide go ten points clear at the top of the table with a crushing 5-0 victory over Liaoning FC in round fifteen of the China Super League.

A Zou Jie hat-trick and goals from foreign pair Zoran Jankovic and long-serving defender Adilson dos Santos saw Dalian breeze past their local rivals and put China's most successful club side streets ahead of the chasing pack.

At the Xinhua Lu Stadium Qu Bo cancelled out Wang Xiaoshi's opening goal as Qingdao held Wuhan to a 1-1 draw that sees the surprise package of the season slip to third. Tianjin move up into second after a 2-0 win at home to Inter Shanghai thanks to efforts from Wu Wei'an and Yu Genwei.

A Xiao Zhanbo goal in the last minute at Hongkou Stadium gave Shanghai Shenhua sweet revenge for their 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Beijing back in round 2, and Valeri Nepomniatchi's side could leapfrog Wuhan and Tianjin and cut Dalian's lead to eight points if they beat Shandong Luneng in Saturday's postponed round 8 match in Jinan.

Shandong themselves were back in their usual form as Ionel Danciulescu hit a brace and Predrag Pazin scored the other in a 3-1 home win against Shanghai Zobon to put Ljubisa Tumbakovic's men fifth, just two points adrift of Shenhua.

At Shenzhen Stadium Jianlibao made if four consecutive positive results with their biggest win of the season so far, a 3-0 victory over Chongqing Qiche, with Oyawole Djima scoring either side of Yang Chen's goal.

Sichuan sent Shenyang to their tenth defeat of the season, winning 2-1 in the Dongbei courtesy of goals from Gan Yingbo and Wang Peng. Qu Qingcai's side consolidate their mid-table position while Ginde remain in last place.
