"We are very happy for today's victory. We worked hard for it and we thank God that we got all three points from this match," he told the club's media.

"We knew that we needed to be at our very best against Plateau United because they are a very good side with an impressive home record. I'm happy that we have put an end to our poor away run. This Victory is very important to us because it will motivate us to go for more wins which we know will take us to a safe position on the log".

The victory moved the Promise Keepers to 16th position on the log with 31 points from 27 matches.
