Fred was in imperious form this week as he stretched his lead to nine points. Matthew’s team were steamrollered, mostly due to Mo Salah. The Egyptian’s first goal had a touch of offside about it but then he ran rings round the Cheesers and completed a hat-trick. A bamboozled Steve Cook turned into his own net and Fred’s other goal came through (an offside?) Dele Alli heading home. Cheese Makers have dropped into the bottom three but incredibly are only six points off second. That place is held by San Dimas who lost at Wheel Madrid. This game has taken on extra significance as a PCMT rehearsal and Paul W will be hoping for more of the same later this month. Wheels were two up in the first quarter of the game, Ashley Young cutting in from the left and firing across the keeper and a flashing header from Ayoze Perez but Romelu Lukaku and N’Golo Kante had me level by the break. My team were ahead on 74 minutes thanks to Callum Paterson but that lead lasted only four minutes before David Luiz headed in and a Joel Matip clean gave Paul W the win. The 90,000 due at Wembley for the final will be hoping for an equally exciting game.
Aardvark Abacus have quietly risen to third. Their latest win was of the comfortable 3-0 variety at YTFIB. Diogo Jota got his second of the week and Son Heung-Min added a screamer before half-time. Julian’s team had no answer and Lucas Torreira made it safe for Ady with a bicycle kick with seven minutes left. The Wateringhole Society would have gone second with a win, got a draw and dropped a place! Kiran’s team were two down to Claymore after 65 minutes, an excellent effort from Robert Snodgrass and a scruffier one from Abdoulaye Doucoure for Clive, but Marcus Rashford gave TWS hope with eight minutes left and Sol Bamba got the clean that shares the points.
Markian only have two defeats from their last ten in the league and are up to sixth after beating Trusted 2-1. James McArthur had all the time in the world to put Markian ahead after six minutes but Beef was level on 15 thanks to Richarlison. The second half was lively. Markian's DeAndre Yedlin saw red, Gylfi Sigurdsson missed a penalty and Ben Foster saved a penalty for the decisive counter. It’s six wins out of eight in the league for the CFJs as they build a head of steam. The Howells saw off Mega Bucks 2-0 thanks to another superb effort from Felipe Anderson and a Ben Davies clean.
Athletico Phoenix are another team going in the right direction after a poor start. Brian’s third straight win was a 2-1 victory at Nil Satis who have to go back to week seven for their last victory. An unlucky deflection off Seamus Coleman gave Brian’s team the lead but Paul S looked to have snatched a point deep into injury time after Matt Doherty’s smart follow-up header. Jan Vertonghen bagged the winning clean for Athletico almost straight after though. The Muppets halted their recent slide with a 4-1 win over the Artisans. James Tarkowski and Javier Hernandez exchanged close range finishes but Ryan’s team had cleans from Toby Alderweireld, Socrates and Tarkowski to take the game away from Ben.
