Andre Villas-Boas has continued his dream start in charge of Zenit St. Petersburg, with a little help from Brazilian striker Hulk.
Zenit powered to a 4-1 victory over FK Krasnodar in the Russian Premier League today to move to the top of the league table, two points ahead of Lokomotiv Moscow. The Railwaymen can move back to the top if they beat Anzhi Makhachkala tomorrow however.
