Egyptian club Al Ahly has won the Egyptian Premier League for a third consecutive season after thrashing Pharco 6-0 on Thursday.

The Red Devils have won eight league titles in the past decade, asserting their dominance.

Pyramids, who also beat Ceramica Cleopatra 5-1 yesterday, settled for second spot as the two sides were separated on the final day of the season.

The Red Devils began the season under Marcel Koller, but he was let go recently, and in his place, interim coach Emad El-Nahhas took over the reins and got them over the line.

Al Ahly were superior across the field, boasting the best attack and defence, with 52 goals scored and just 18 conceded.

The 12-time CAF Champions League winners will now turn their attention to the FIFA Club World Cup next month in the United States of America (USA).
