The Muppets remain unbeaten and still lead but a draw with the Artisans means the margin is back to two points. Ryan had looked in control after a Federico Fernandez own goal and a close range finish from Shinji Okazaki had him two up but with five minutes left Sofiane Boufal pulled one back for Ben after an amazing solo run and finish and Maya Yoshida's clean shared the points. Trusted took advantage of that slip to close the gap but left it late against Nil Satis. Paul’s team led through Pedro’s early stunner before Phil Jones limped off with a clean. Nicolas Otamendi headed Beef in front but Aaron Ramsey squared it as the clock ticked into injury time. The result went Beef’s way with Otamendi’s clean the decider.

The CFJs join Trusted on 14 points after a big win over the Phoenix. Brian’s team held out until half-time but Roberto Pereyra’s strike on 49 minutes was soon followed by Mesut Ozil’s header. That was it until injury time when Alexis Sanchez led the Phoenix defence a merry dance before finding the far corner and two cleans followed to round out the 5-0 win. If that was big the Aardvarks went bigger, beating San Dimas 7-0. Son Heung-Min outpaced my back four to smash in on 12 minutes and after Dejan Lovren was subbed things settled down for an hour. Then Michy Batshuayi got two either side of an Alexandre Lacazette effort and three cleans from Ady’s team meant my team were locked in the dressing room for an hour afterwards.

Fred had their hands full with the Wateringhole Society this week but came through 5-3. Mo Salah’s pace was too much for Kiran’s team on 24 minutes and he raced through to open the scoring. That lead lasted just four minutes later with Aaron Mooy finishing off a move he started back at the half way line. Dele Alli’s volley in first half injury time restored the champions lead and Alfie Mawson’s smart turn and shot  made it 3-1 11 minutes after the break. Leroy Sane made it 4-1 and though Marcus Rashford headed home to reduce the deficit Cesar Azpilicueta nodded in with three minutes left to end any hopes of a comeback. Claymore ended their losing streak in style at Stratton Park with a 6-0 win over Wheel Madrid. The game was up by half time. Wayne Rooney had rolled back the years with his early strike and Sergio Aguero added a penalty on the half hour. Abdoulaye Doucoure got a third in injury time. That was the end of the goals but Claymore added three cleans.

The Harry Kane team (Pep said it, not me!) Markian United had their striker to thank for a 2-0 win over Mega Bucks that lifts them to ninth. YTFIB are going the right way too after coming away from the Stade de Fromage with a 3-0 win. Laurent Deportee and Mame Diouf got Julian’s goals. Mat Ryan added a clean.
