French striker Djibril Cisse scored twice in three minutes to guide Greek league leader Panathinaikos to a 3-0 victory at Larissa on Sunday.

The Athens club now has 52 points, six ahead of Olympiakos, which had earlier trounced Levadiakos 5-1.

Panathinaikos had already missed one clearcut scoring chance when Cisse broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute, firing home after a cross by Giorgos Karagounis . The Frenchman then added his 17th goal of the season in first half injury time after a cross by Nikos Spiropoulos.

Sotiris Ninis, who replaced Dimitris Salpingidis in the 79th minute, made it 3-0 just three minutes later with a shot from the edge of the area.

In a game resumed Sunday after a downpour forced its suspension on Saturday, last-place Panthrakikos caused a shocked by winning 2-0 at Aris. Already 1-0 up from Saturday through a 42nd minute goal by Fotis Papoulis, Panthrakikos made sure when French midfielder Bertrand Robert converted a 78th minute penalty.

Also Sunday it was: Atromitos 1, Panionios 0; Iraklis 1, PAOK 1 and Ergotelis 4, Asteras 3.
