Two teams are now on three wins out of three, San Dimas and Nil Satis.

San Dimas are still top after a 3-0 win against Claymore. Willy Boly’s opening goal had Clive shouting ‘handball’ at the fourth official and VAR would have ruled it out. But there’s no VAR in WSFFL (yet) so the goal stood and Danny Welbeck made it 2-0 in injury time before Terence Kongolo’s clean completed the win. It was a closer affair for Nil Satis. Their game against YTFIB was settled by one goal, Theo Walcott outpacing Julian’s defence to fire in after 56 minutes.

Athletico Phoenix are our only other unbeaten team and are in third. Brian’s men swept the notoriously slow-starting Artisans (see Rafa’s fact corner) aside with a low, perfectly-placed effort from Marko Arnautovic setting them on their way after 25 minutes. Demarai Gray and Harry Maguire (with his foot not his slabhead) got second half goals to have Ben waving the white flag even before Jan Vertonghen’s clean sheet. Last year’s top two met at Drove Stadium and it ended in another reverse for the CFJs at the hands of Fred. The Gardeners were always a step ahead of their opponents - Mo Salah’s first time opener the only goal of the first half. Lucas Moura took his time to settle but got a second half brace either side of Eden Hazard’s penalty while Chris could only reply through Roberto Pereyra and a bullet header from Aymeric Laporte.

Cheese Makers also have two wins out of three after overcoming Trusted this week. Beef’s draft signing Richarlison saw red for a sneaky headbutt towards the end of the first half and the Cheesers wore them down and won with cleans from recent signings Sol Bamba and Florent Hadjergonaj. Wheel Madrid’s winning run ended at the Wateringhole Society. Paul W had a perfect start too, Jeff Hendrick putting him in front on 10 minutes. Kiran hit back in the second half with three goals in 17 minutes. Michael Keane headed him level, Nathan Ake was quickest to react when a ball came off a post on 79 minutes and Andre Schurrle drove in four minutes later.

Mega Bucks got their first win of the campaign and added to Markian’s woes in the process. Jean-Michel Seri took just four minutes to notch his goal of the month contender for Dave but Harry Kane’s perfectly placed header five minutes after the restart tied the game. The Bandits romped away after that though with goals from Jose Holebas and Wilf Zaha and when Markian’s DeAndre Yedlin stuck a foot out to put through his own goal with three minutes left it was game over. The Aardvarks got their season up and running, and inflicted the Muppets first defeat in the process. Nacho Monreal put Ady ahead on the half hour but James Tarkowski was alive at the back post for Ryan to send the game in level at the break. The game was won for Ady by Ran Bertrand’s second half screamer.
