Three teams remain unbeaten as we head into the first international break. The Artisans keep top spot on goal difference after a 3-3 draw with another one of those teams, Trusted. Three goals in the first ten minutes lit this one up. Richarlison opened the scoring for Beef but Christian Eriksen levelled after a weak save from the Trusted keeper and another Dan James special had the leaders 2-1 up. Bernardo Silva’s equaliser for Beef came with 11 minutes to go before the teams swapped goals a minute later. Bernardo Silva for Beef and Roberto Firmino for Ben and it finished 3-3. It’s now three draws for Trusted in that unbeaten run.
The Wateringhole Society have joined the Artisans on ten points after beating Mega Bucks 2-1. All the goals came in the second half with Jannik Westergaard heading Kiran in front just before the hour. P-E Aubameyang (who else?) got Dave level but only for four minutes when Raul Jimenez headed Kiran’s winner and got a kick in the face for his troubles. San Dimas made it three wins out of four with a 2-1 win at the Aardvarks. Fabian Schar put me in front four minutes before the break, did VAR miss a handball in the buildup?, but Alexandre Lacazette smashed Ady level in first-half injury time. The winner came courtesy of Vicente Guaita’s clean sheet.
The CFJs have also won three out of four, Nil Satis were the victims this week. Paul went ahead thanks to Alex Iwobi’s first goal for his new club but Nil Satis were behind at the break. Tammy Abraham turned it round with his second successive brace for the Cows and an injured Aymeric Laporte had notched up a clean. Andre Yarmolenko brought it back to 3-2, moments after hitting the post, but the CFJs held on. Going into this week’s games the Muppets and Claymore were the league’s top scorers. They still are after an eight goal thriller. The Muppets raced into a three goal lead in 37 minutes through Kevin De Bruyne, record-signing Sebastian Haller and Sadio Mane. It was 3-2 by the break as Clive hit back through a Youri Tielemans tap-in and another from Sergio Aguero. Ten minutes after the break it was 3-3, Aguero again, and the game was eventually settled in Ryan’s favour with clean sheets from Joel Ward and Angelo Ogbonna.
Athletico are sixth after surviving a scare at home to bottom-placed Markian. Brian’s team were two down by half-time. An unlucky own goal off Chris Wood and then a Harry Kane penalty must have had the joint managers thinking they were going to snap their long run without a win*. Brian turned it round with Jordan Ayew’s goal and cleans from Virgil van Dijk and Arthur Masuaku. Life looks better for Cheese Makers after a second straight win. Ok it was a scruffy 1-0 over YTFIB thanks to Andrew Robertson’s clean but there are no pictures on the league table.
The jaw-dropping result of the week was at the home of the champions as Fred went down 6-0 to Wheel Madrid. Two goals in the first 15 minutes put Wheels in control. Jamie Vardy’s superb lob after outpacing the Fred defence came first, Callum Wilson opened his account straight after. Vardy got a second in the second half and Kurt Zouma’s late own goal summed up Fred’s day.
* Markian’s last win came in February - that’s 13 straight league defeats now.
