BOV player of the match: Kevin Tulimieri (Valletta)
Valletta underlined their title credentials with an emphatic defeat of Mosta.
A combination of results on-and-off pitch saw them climb from sixth place to take the second spot behind runaway leaders Hibernians.
In the run-up to the match, Valletta received a big boost when the MFA Protests Board overturned their 2-1 defeat against Sliema, before Floriana’s upset with Sirens gave them the opportunity to go three points ahead of their arch-rivals and Valletta duly accepted the invitation.
