Four of the top five won this week but the Aardvarks managed to extend their lead. Ady's team fell behind to a David Silva goal on 20 minutes but turned it round to beat Fred 5-1. Fred's lead only lasted five minutes before Matija Nastasic equalised via a deflection. The Aardvarks' defence did the rest - Phil Jagielka, Winston Reid, Nastasic and Nacho Monreal all picking up cleans. Last week's second place team, the Muppets, dropped back after drawing with Trusted. Beef edged ahead just before half-time, Jay Rodriguez with a downward header that ended up looping in. Ryan found his equaiiser with a clean, debutant Martin DeMichelis doing the business for the Muppets.

That result means that the reigning champion CFJs are up to second. Chris' team were unconvincing though and needed a lucky ricochet own goal from Bradley Johnson to get the win over YTFIB. The Artisans are now third and were more ruthless against Cheese Makers. Ben took this one 4-0. The game started in bizarre fashion with 'keeper Asmir Begovic belting a clearance 90-odd yards into the Cheese net after 13 seconds. Alvaro Negredo doubled the lead before the break and Loic Remy added a third in the last minute. A Leighton Baines clean completed Matthew's misery.

San Dimas edged Nil Satis in the PCMT last week and my team overcame Paul's again this. Aaron Ramsey slammed home yet another goal for Nil Satis on the hour but my defence have been a tough nut this season and I had cleans from Rafael, Kyle Walker, Maynor Figueroa and Dejan Lovren to get me home. Claymore turned in another fine performance to see off the Final Fantasy Challenge. This one to'd and fro'd until late on. Rooney tapped in on 22 minutes, another brilliant Yaya Toure free-kick had Ceri level on the hour. Sergio Aguero put Clive back in front, Gareth McAuley levelled. Claymore eventually got the upper hand with cleans from Gael Clichy, Jonas Olsson, and Kevin Theophile-Catherine.

This week must be FCK2's worse since Kevin joined the league. Following on from the Cup beating his side went down 5-1 at the Phoenix. Two goals in two minutes from Santi Cazorla and Robin van Persie had Brian ahead early on, Steven Caulker pulled FCK2 back into it but Brian had cleans from Pablo Zabaleta, Jan Vertonghen and Per Mertersacker to make it secure. Dean's still looking for his first win in the league and needed a Mathieu Debuchy clean to grab a point after Antonia Valencia's early strike looked to have given Mega Bucks the win.
