Fred has extended his lead to five points on the back of his five goal win this week. The Wateringhole Society were the victims but Kiran’s team held out until first half injury time when Jermain Defoe scored twice in two minutes. Eden Hazard scored after a mazy run that took half the length of the pitch and left the Wateringhole defenders in his wake. Two cleans and it was job done for the leaders. The Muppets are back in second place after a goalless draw with Wheel Madrid. Both of these sides have lacked firepower at times this season so perhaps little surprise that neither team troubled the scorers.

There was no trouble scoring for San Dimas this week. Mostly thanks to Romelu Lukaku who bagged four, including one after 31 seconds in my win over Trusted. Gabriel Jesus scored two more to make it three in a week for Beef’s team but he was no match for Lukaku in this sort of mood. Ashley Barnes added one from the spot and an Allan Nyom clean completed the rout. Athletico and Cheese Makers stay fifth and sixth after their draw. James Morrison scored his second goal in the sixth minute this week for Brian but Troy Deeney’s header drew Matthew level four minutes later and that was all the scoring.

The CFJs could have gone fifth with a win but lost 2-1 to YTFIB. Lamine Kone and Zlatan Ibrahimovic had Julian two up by the break and although Gylfi Sigurdsson scored his customary goal late on there was no way back for the Howells. The Artisans also missed the chance to close on the top four with a crushing defeat at Mega Bucks. Mark Noble’s deflected free-kick opened the scoring or Dave seven minutes after the break, Josh King added two more and an Antonio Valencia clean completed the scoring.

The Mega Bucks are now above the Aardvarks after Ady’s team fell to Claymore. All the action in Clive’s 3-2 win came very late. Oumar Niasse opened his Aardvarks account on 84 minutes, Cesc Fabregas levelled things a minute later with a calm lob into an empty goal, Olivier proud put Claymore ahead a minute into injury time and Ross Barkley, celebrating before he tucked into the empty goal after rounding the Aardvarks keeper, made it 3-1 four minutes into injury time. A Daley Blind clean cut the deficit but was’t enough to grab Ady a point. FCK2 climbed off the foot of the table for the first time in a while with a 4-2 win over Nil Satis. Paul had led twice but Kevin struck back, first through Andy Carroll and then Harry Kane form the spot, to set up cleans from Ben Foster and Chris Smalling to get him the three points.
