The top two continue blazing a trail. The CFJs hit the 50 goal mark for the season with a 5-2 win at Trusted. Brennan Johnson scored two for the Cows but Beef looked to have grabbed a point when the returning Alexander Isak headed in from a yard out with a minute left. Chris and Co took the win with cleans from Kepa, Gabriel and Max Kilman. Fred got off on the wrong foot against the Muppets when Hugo Lloris steered a cross into his own net on 14 minutes. Jack Grealish headed in on the hour to level and Bruno Fernandes’ controversial ‘offside’ goal on 78 minutes proved the winner.

Champions Wateringhole are up to third after a narrow win at Nil Satis. Marcus Rashford steered a shot through the keeper’s legs eight minutes from time for the only goal of the game. The Artisans drop to fourth after a heavy home defeat to SGU. Ben was one up at the break courtesy of Martin Odegaard’s long-range shot into the corner but it was all Aaron after the break. James Ward-Prowse got two, one a trademark free-kick, either side of a Kai Havertz header to make it 3-1 and cleans from Ben Mee and Kieran Trippier took the score to 5-1.

Trying to guess the position of teams between fifth and 14th could be a new National Lottery sub-game! The Aardvarks are fifth this week following their 2-0 clean sheet (Scott McKenna and Ben White) win over Markian. Wheel Madrid are sixth thanks to their 1-0 win at Cheese Makers. Leon Bailey’s brilliant curling effort inside three minutes was the only score of the game.

It was a clean sheet win for San Dimas at Mega Bucks to push my team into 11th. Hugo Bueno and Dan Burn getting on the scoresheet. YTFIB join Claymore on 17 points after beating those opponents 3-2. Clive led twice in this one, Amadou Onana heading in before the break and Daniel Podence restoring the lead with a first-time shot from 18 yards. Both goals were equalised by former ‘Swordsman' Solly March who Clive reliably informs me didn’t score for Claymore! It was a Nathan Collins clean that gave all the points to Julian.
