The top four all win, the bottom four all lose and there's all sorts of mayhem in the middle.

Claymore still lead the way after a 4-2 win over Evertonian rivals Nil Satis. Wayne Rooney opened the scoring with a half-volley from near the half-way line and added a second when turning in an attempted clearance. Oscar did score twice for Paul, reducing the deficit to 2-1 and then 3-2 after Ross Barkley's goal but Clive closed it out with a Branislav Ivanovic clean. Ryan kept on Clive's coat-tails after edging out Cheese Makers 3-2. Fraizer Campbell broke the deadlock on 25 minutes but Shane Long had Matthew level at the break. Daniel Sturridge is still chasing the golden boot and his close range finish 15 minutes from time saw Ryan back in front. Martin DeMichelis extended the advantage two minutes from time and it proved the match-winner.

Trusted were two up against the Parrots inside half an hour then held on for the win. Jay Rodriguez and Adam Lallana with Beef's goals while Mike Williamson grabbed a consolation clean for Dean. The CFJs had lost six out of their last nine but exploded into form against Athletico Phoenix and were in front after five minutes when Samuel Eto'o made space for himself then found the bottom corner. Luis Suarez had gone a bit cold in the past few weeks but the bitey Uruguayan was back to his best with a hat-trick. Suarez completed his scoring in the 90th minute and remarkably Geoff Cameron and Gylfi Sigurdsson also added late, late goals for Chris.

The Aardvarks broke their poor run last week and made it back to back wins with a 2-1 win over YTFIB. Jordon Mutch was Ady's unlikely hero, his second of the game with two minutes left sealed victory after Peter Crouch had equalled his early opener. Fred returned to form after a blip last week and ran riot at San Dimas. The Gardeners were 3-0 up at the break through Andre Schurrle, an Eden Hazard penalty and Wilfried Bony. Romelu Lukaku got my reply but Fernandinho and two cleans completed the rout. 

The majestic Yaya Toure was the difference between Final Fantasy and FCK2. The Ivorian bagged all the goals in this one, two from the spot and a trademark long-range curler. The Artisans put six past Mega Bucks to pick their first win in two months. Christian Benteke and a Leighton Baines penalty had Ben two up in 20 minutes then close-range braces from Christian Eriksen and Martin Skrtel made it 6-0 nine minutes into the second period. Dave finally woke up and replied with three cleans.
