Epirotans demolish PAOK
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
PAOK Salonika suffered a shock 3-0 defeat against PAS Giannina, which cut their lead at the top of the Greek championship to a single point from second-placed Olympiakos Piraeus.
Having defeated Olympiacos in Piraeus two weeks ago (1 - 2), Angelos Anastasiadis's side have now lost two of their last three league fixtures, after goals from Andi Lila, Nikos Korovesis and Michalis Manias.
Defending champions Olympiacos had thrown down the gauntlet just 24 hours earlier, beating Panionios 2-0 at home thanks to a double strike from striker Kostas Mitroglou.
PAOK, without a league title since 1985, have 31 points after 14 games, one ahead of Olympiakos and five clear of third-placed Panathinaikos, who also suffered a 4-2 shocking defeat from Xanthi, in northeastern Greece.
