No sooner do the chasers close the gap than Fred opens it again. Our long-time leader broke the resistance of Wheel Madrid with two goals in a ten minute spell, from Leroy Sane and Dele Alli, after the break. Trusted are up to second and looking the most credible challengers at the moment. Beef’s team cruised to a 5-0 win at YTFIB and I’ll single out Gary Cahill as MOTM with a late goal and a clean.

The Muppets slipped a place after losing at the Phoenix. Ryan’s team led twice but ultimately cleans from Ashley Williams and Cedric Soares delivered Brian the points. The scrap at the bottom of the table has got interesting, not least with the Wateringhole Society picking up a win at Stade de Fromage. Juan Mata’s own goal and Jonathan Calleri’s first for Kiran took his team out of reach of Matthew’s team.

I’d got to half-time 0-0 at the CFJs but conceded six in the second half. Fernando Llorente bagged another two and regular scorers Sanchez and Sigurdsson were also on target. The Artisans sneak into the top half after winning at Nil Satis. Roberto Firmino scored twice for Ben before Seamus Coleman could reply for Paul. His team are getting dragged into the battle at the bottom.

The Aardvarks must be looking over their shoulders too (if Aardvarks have shoulders). Ady’s team went down 2-1 to an Andy Carroll brace and a second straight FCK2 win. Clive’s win over Mega Bucks drags Dave into the bottom of the table equation. A late penalty from Dusan Tadic and a Joel Robles clean edging Claymore over the line.
