Guangzhou Evergrande cruised to a seventh straight Chinese Super League title in style on Sunday, with a 5-1 hammering of Guizhou Zhicheng.
The victory gave Luiz Felipe Scolari’s men an unassailable nine-point lead over second-placed Shanghai SIPG, who went down 2-1 to Guangzhou R&F, with two games remaining.
And Persebaya were quick to take Facebook to salute their former goalkeeper, Zeng Cheng who played for the Surabaya-based team in 2005.

Zeng Cheng has already capped 41 times with the Chinese national team since making his debut in a friendly match against Iran in June 2009.
