Jorge Jesus understandably pleased with his side's attractive performance against Boavista

Four goals unanswered and a comfortable performance in front of a crown fo 42,000 was more than enough for Jorge Jesus to show a smile in his post-match press conference this Saturday night.

"It has been a while since we could say that we won and played some very artistic football. Sporting CP were brilliant over the 90 minutes", opened Jesus adding: "Today we were brilliant against a good team that honestly didn't have a chance, because we were so creative. It was a great atmosphere tonight and strong team are built around a lot of things, including the fans."

Bas Dost's hattrick drew him level with Messi in the hunt for the Golden Boot (27) and Jesus of course reserved a comment for the Dutch striker: "He will comfortably be the top scorer in Portugal. In Europe it will be between him, Messi, Lewandowskia and Cavani. We have done well to develop him and this isn't just a coincidence. If you look back at the strikers who play for me, like Slimani for example who scored 32 goals. Bas Dost is having a brilliant first year."
