If Fred does win his second title this year he’ll owe a debt of gratitude to Alfie Mawson. The defender’s thumping volley was the only goal in the game against Mega Bucks and keeps his team with five points of daylight over the rest. It’s the Muppets that are trying to hang on and Ryan’s team turned round a slow start to beat Nil Satis. Paul’s team were ahead on seven minutes, a great move finished off by Pedro, but two in three minutes from Sadio Mane (welcomed back after AFCON) and Raheem Sterling stabbing in at the far post had this one finished by the half-hour mark.

Trusted are a further three points back after drawing at Claymore. The unfortunate Tyrone Mings (Mings. How unfortunate can you be?) steered into his own goal under pressure from Sergio Aguero to give Clive the lead and Beef needed a Ryan Shawcross clean to get a point. A bigger worry for Trusted is new star Gabriel Jesus doing a metatarsal. Wheel Madrid are five league games without a win since Paul W picked up the December MOTM and were on the wrong end of a 5-1 scoreline at the CFJs. Paul can feel hard done by over Alexis Sanchez’s 34th minute handball goal but he was already trailing to a Nacer Chadli strike and Sofiane Feghouli and Sanchez again, from the spot this time, took the game away from him in the second half.

Athletico are right behind the top four after a hard-fought win over the Wateringhole Society. This one was heading for a goalless draw until Jason Denayer steered into his own net with two minutes left to keep Kiran three points adrift at the bottom. Three cleans earned Ady a point at Le Stade Fromage after it seemed like Matthew was home and dry. Juan Mata, from close range, Manuel Lanzini, from long distance, and Shane Long had the Cheesers three up in injury time before the interventions of Blind, Gibson and Bertrand for the Aardvarks.

The Artisans/San Dimas mid-table battle went the way of Ben’s team with Leighton Baines getting the only clean to matter. FCK2 won the basement encounter with YTFIB to leap to 13th. Joe Allen got his sixth of the season to give Julian the lead but cleans from Chris Smalling and Glen Johnson sees Kevin’s mini-revival continue.
