Report

The Muppets claim the PCMT for the third time in six seasons and the fourth in all with a comeback win against YTFIB. Julian's improving team took the lead just after the half-hour when Bobby Decordova-Reid glanced in a header and they took that advantage into the break.

Six minutes after half-time Ryan's team were level. WSFFL record-signing Erling Haaland couldn't miss after the Muppets latched on to a defensive blunder. YTFIB weren't deterred by the setback though, Solly March hitting a 25-yard screamer into the top corner just five minutes later.

Haaland soon scored a second equaliser, being given too much space for a first-time finish from 12 yards and this time his team were on top and the game was settled with a clean sheet from Kalidou Koulibaly. £97m of talent on the scoresheet proving too much in the end for a squad worth not much more than half that.
