Three unbeaten teams all on 20 points but there has been a change at the top.

Claymore have regained top spot courtesy of their goal difference. It was another four-goal victory for Clive this week, over YTFIB this time, with first-half goals from Olivier Giroud and a deflected strike from Ross Barkley setting it up. Fred trailed Final Fantasy ion the first minute after Matt Ritchie's strike for Ceri but Salomon Rondon levelled on half time and Craig Dawson got the winning clean. 

Those results, and Athletico's draw with Cheese Makers, drop Brian's team to third. Troy Deeney (who sounds like he should be a magician - 'The Great Troidini' - I digress) got his first goal for Matthew's club but that was equalised by Jordan Ayew's first goal for the Phoenix. San Dimas are the team that lost their unbeaten record. Trusted took the lead through Erik Lamela and although Jamie Vardy got his customary goal for me Phil Jones' clean won it for Beef to give him only his second win.

The Artisans have gone on a bit of a run and are up to fifth. Billy Jones and Christian Benteke put Ben two up against the Muppets and although Sadio Mane pulled one back for Ryan he then got sent off and Jones finished it with a clean. FCK2 have leapt over the Aardvarks into sixth after beating those opponents 4-0. Harry Kane clearly inspired by last week's dig at him in the report and responded with a match-winning hat-trick.

If it's tight at the top then what about the bottom half? Three points cover all eight teams. Kiran's Wateringhole Society need a nickname so I don't have to type so much every time (The Waterboys? Please explain that one to him Ben) and they secured the points late against the CFJs. Chris and Co had led through Gylfi Sigurdsson but Andre Ayew levelled with three minutes to go and Joe Hart and Nathan Ake sent Kiran into the top ten. Mega Bucks got their first win since week one but are still bottom. It was a late show at Okus too with Steven Fletcher's shinny volley breaking the deadlock against Nil Satis with four minutes left and Wes Morgan's clean finished the game in Dave's favour.
