The Wateringhole retained top spot after coming back from two down to grab a draw with San Dimas.Thiago Alcantara’s deflected effort put me ahead before the break and £50m man Jadon Sancho’s composed finish five minutes after half-time doubled the lead. Bukayo Saka pulled one back after a great team move six minutes later and Tariq Lamptey’s clean sheet ensured the points were shared. Trusted are up to second after beating Fred 2-1. The Gardeners led courtesy of a controlled Gabriele Martinelli volley but it all turned round with the clean sheets from Diego Llorente and Conor Coady to decide it in Beef’s favour.

The Artisans drop to third after being held 1-1 by Nil Satis. Ben looked to have won it when Marc Guehi poked in at the near post five minutes into injury time but Paul S hit straight back with a clean sheet from Stuart Dallas. Claymore slip to fourth after a heavy defeat by the Aardvarks. Diego Jota struck twice from close range in the first half an hour (or thereabouts) and an Ashley Young clean ended any hopes of a Clive comeback.

Stanley Athletic have quietly made their way into the picture and edged the CFJs 1-0 this week. The only goal in this one came on 52 minutes when Virgil van Dijk turned in from 12 yards following a corner. Cheese Makers made it four league wins in a row for the first time since weeks 21-25 in the 2014/15 season. Matthew hit this landmark with a 1-0 win over the struggling Mega Bucks, Matt Targett’s drive form the left corner of the six yard box after 15 minutes the only goal of the game.

Wheel Madrid burst into life this week and saw off bottom-placed YTFIB 5-1. James Maddison was left alone to put the Wheelmen ahead on 16 minutes but Julian was back on terms after 33 minutes when Ilkay Gundogan tapped in. Two goals from Jamie Vardy before the break put Paul W back in control and he finished it off in the second half with a Jorginho penalty and a strike from John McGinn from what we might have to call ‘John McGinn territory’. It’s two wins in a row for Markian who shocked the Muppets 2-0. Clean sheets from Marc Cucurella and Brandon Williams lift Ian up to 14th.
