Match of the week
Trusted and Wheels went into this match with similar records. Both had won two out of three in the league and had been dumped out of the PCMT the week before.
The first half hour and a bit had been quiet but then Jordan Henderson lit the game up with a stunning strike for Trusted. Beef’s team went two up not long after the break when Nicolas Otamendi went off with a clean sheet tucked safely in his back pocket. Trusted seemed to be heading to the victory but the game changed in two minutes. On 78 Ben Mee steered a cross into his own net and a minute later Robert Snodgrass converted a penalty to level things up. Both teams were happy to take the draw from there and are two points off the top.
Elsewhere in the league
Claymore stay top after edging out Cheese Makers. Two penalties from first Lanzini and then very late from Deeney did have Matthew ahead but Clive’s defence had a couple of cleans to give him the win. He’s two goals better off in the difference column than Fred who also had a 3-2 win. That was against FCK2 with new signing Islam Slimani scoring twice and a Hugo Lloris clean proving the difference after Kane and McArthur had brought Kevin level.
Athletico are on the same mark after scrapping to a win at YTFIB. After Tomkins had opened the scoring for Brian, Julian was level through a Maarten Stekelenburg own goal. That’s our third keeper og in as many weeks but this one surely shouldn’t have counted. Are people allowed to head goalies’ arms these days? (I am a lapsed member of the goalkeepers union though.) Januzaj saw red in the last minute for Athletico but a couple of cleans made the difference in their favour. After being beaten in the PCMT the Muppets turned last week’s opponents, the Artisans, over rather easily. De Bruyne’s clever free-kick under the wall was smart and Iheanacho and Sterling also finished off moves that carved through Ben’s defence like it wasn’t there.
Nil Satis are sixth after a comfortable 3-0 win over the inconsistent Aardvarks. Coleman and Townsend finishing excellent solo runs with goals to put Paul out of sight. The CFJs round out our bottom half after beating the Bandits 4-2. Two goals each for Sanchez and Chadli with Chris and Co having the luxury of a penalty miss from the Chilean striker too.The Wateringhole Society still prop the table up after defeat to San Dimas. An unmarked Dejan Lovren put me ahead and the in-form Romelu Lukaku got one just before the break. Marcus Rashford pulled one back for Kiran but it wasn’t enough.
