The top two win but it's Beef that's singing The Lion Sleeps Tonight as he's a win away, a win away. (Sorry!)

A spectacular four goal burst either side of the break saw Trusted hold on to their advantage by beating Cheese Makers. Andi Weimann opened his account for the season with two headers before the break and Edin Dzeko got one either side of the interval to put his side four up. Matthew replied through Oussama Assaidi but couldn't dent Beef's title hopes. Claymore are in position to capitalise if Beef slips up after beating Athletico 5-1. A stunning strike from Ross Barkley opened the scoring for Clive on 11 minutes and Olivier Giroud doubled the advantage three minutes later. Sergio Aguero added another before Brian replied through Stewart Downing's free-kick before the break. Marko Arnautovic extinguished any hopes of a Phoenix revival and a David Luiz clean completed the win.

The CFJs had a comprehensive win over Fred but are now out of the race. Peter Odemwingie scored from very close in six minutes before the break and Luis Suarez added a second ten minutes into the second period. Two cleans landed Fred with one of his biggest defeats of the season. The Aardvarks are up to fourth thanks to Joe Allen's header which was the only goal in the game against struggling Nil Satis. 

Ryan's meek end to the season continued with defeat to Mega Bucks. Daniel Sturridge's deflected shot gave the Muppets the lead but Russel Martin, Guy Demel and Dwight Tiendalli got the cleans that handed the points to the Bandits. San Dimas and Final Fantasy shared the points with a 2-2 draw. Man of the moment Connor Wickham teed up Seb Larsson to open the scoring for Ceri, Romelu Lukaku replied for me. Damien Delaney's long-ranger looked to have won the game for the Fantasy but Dejan Lovren's clean earned me a point and assures me of a top half finish. Which is nice. 

Final Fantasy, Fred, Cheese Makers and the Artisans are scrapping for the last two places in the top half. Matthew is almost assured of one but Ben missed a chance to claim a place when losing to the Parrots. A first goal in I don't know how long from Shola Ameobi gave Dean the lead until three minutes from time when Loic Remy equalised. A freak Rickie Lambert goal right at the end means the Parrots are unlucky to finish the bottom. YTFIB prop things up and will have to win at Claymore to have a chance of shaking off that distinction. Julian was two up this week through a late brace from Dwight Gayle but cleans from Luke Shaw and John Terry gave Kevin a point.
