Lucerne's excellent start to the season continued as three second-half goals gave them a 3-0 win at Grasshoppers.

Nelson Ferreira opened the scoring 10 minutes after half-time, with Hakan Yakin adding a second two minutes later and substitute Joao Paiva rounding things off on the stroke of full-time.

The result leaves Lucerne three points clear of a trio of teams at the top of the Super League.

The last of those in action this weekend were Bellinzona, who needed a late winner from Angelo Raso to beat Neuchatel Xamax 2-1.

Raso had only been on the pitch a minute when he settled the match nine minutes from time after Drissa Diarra's goal in the first minute for Bellinzona had been cancelled out by Ibrahima Niasse (53).

In the day's only other game, David Degen scored the only goal as Young Boys, fresh from their 3-2 Champions League win over Tottenham, beat FC Zurich 1-0.
