Trusted not striding off into the distance just yet. Beef's team, ahead early through Titus Bramble, were pegged pack and held by Final Fantasy through Seb Larsson's strike. The point is enough to keep Ceri off the bottom. Two points behind Trusted are our only other unbeaten side, York's. Julian's team put in their best performance of the season and, with a little help from a Tuncay own goal, went on to turn over Mega Bucks 4-0.

The Aardvarks are up to third after a 6-1 beating of Athletico Phoenix. In a year when their historical rivals are not firing could Ady's team get back on the honours board? A settled Luca Modric and a happy Emanuel Adebayor could be big players this season. The Cheese Makers suffered their first defeat of the campaign but made the reigning champions work for it. Franco Di Santo had Matthew ahead but Nani's rocket and Fernando Torres had Fred in front just after the break. Alex Song nudged one past his own keeper to square the match at 2-2 but a Younes Kaboul clean won the points and gets Fred moving in the right direction.

On the subject of own goals the Muppets managed to score two as they fell 4-1 to the Artisans. Jonathan Woodgate and Laurent Koscielny both managed to score at the wrong end to steer Ben towards a third win of the season. Guess who scored for Claymore this week? Did you say Aguero and Rooney? You were right! Those two have 17 between them already this season. Martin Petrov's reply from the spot for Chris was too little, too late.

Yakubu scored twice on debut for the Dead Parrots but finished on the losing side. Mikel Arteta equalised his first goal and then Nil Satis new boy Royston Drenthe struck late to make it 2-2. John O'Shea got the winning clean for Paul to haul him into the top ten. Still no win for Boston Rock this season. Sheriff must have thought he was home and dry at 3-0 up, big summer signing Scott Sinclair opening his account along the way, but San Dimas found three clean sheets from somewhere to grab a point. Boston Rock and the Muppets in the bottom three after five games. Whatever next?
