The top two keep on winning but do it the hard way.

Trusted fell behind at FCK2 when Ben Foster saved a penalty on 16 minutes but Stephane Sessegnon outpaced the home defence to level on 31 minutes and the winning goal came from an unfortunate deflection off of Glen Johnson. Claymore came back from two down to end the Muppets' chances of the title. Raheem Sterling bamboozled the Claymore defence to open the scoring and a still discombobulated Jonas Olsson turned into his own net to see Ryan two up at the break. A super piece of control and smart finish from Olivier Giroud got Clive back in th egame and four cleans made for a comfortable win and cut the goal difference cap to Beef's side.

The CFJs came from behind as well beating Mega Bucks 2-1. An excellent Phillipe Coutinho snapshot had Dave ahead with 12 minutes left and Chris needed cleans from Geoff Cameron and Sascha Riether to get all the points. San Dimas are fifth this week after a draw at the bottom-placed Parrots. Erik Pieters' misplaced cross drifted in just before the break to give Dean the lead but Adrian Mariappa got my equalising clean on debut.

Half of the top eight is still up for grabs and the Artisans staked their claim for a place with a big win over the Aardvarks. Matej Vydra bagged his first for Ady in 20 seconds but Chris Brunt had Ben level three minutes later. Martin Skrtel glanced in a header after 26 minutes and Christian Eriksen clinched it right at the end. Fred gave himself a chance of finishing in the top half with a 1-0 win at Athletico. David Silva with the only goal.

Final Fantasy's Cup Final build up finished with a draw against Nil Satis. Demba Ba scored for Ceri but Seamus Coleman got  Paul's equaliser with a clean. More worryingly for Ceri the talismanic Yaya Toure limped off and will most likely miss the Final against Trusted. Lastly and leastly, the game between Cheese Makers and YTFIB was postponed due to... oooh, let's say a sudden outbreak of lactose intolerance at the Stade de Fromage.
