Results at the top see the CFJs extend their lead to six points. Chris and Co. came from a goal down to beat the Muppets 3-1. Phil Foden’s solo run and (deflected) shot put Ryan in front after 15 minutes but that advantage was gone four minutes later when Brennan Johnson scored on the follow-up. It was Johnson who put the Cows in front 13 minutes from time finding the top corner from 15 yards. Danny Welbeck rounded out the win with his first of the season with a shot from the edge of the area. The Wateringhole are second and also had to come from behind to get past the Cheese Makers 3-2. Matthew was ahead inside 10 seconds when an unmarked Philip Billing converted from seven yards and new signing Manor Solomon headed home to make it 2-0 before the break. Ivan Toney pulled one back from the spot eight minutes into the second half and Kaoru Mitoma slid in the equaliser on 69 minutes. Kiran’s winner came courtesy of an Ezra Konsa clean.

Fred dropped to third after 3-2 defeat to Markian. Darwin Nunez headed Ian in front just after the interval and Thomas Partey scored from close range to double the lead. Mohamed Salah lashed in off the bar to pull one back before a clever Nunez back-header restored the two goal advantage. Salah reduced the deficit with seven minutes left but Markian held on. The mid-table washing machine stopped with Stanley and Gracie on top of the pile this week. Aaron has got Ben Chilwell and Virgil van Dijk back from injury and they got the cleans that beat Wheel Madrid 2-0.

The Artisans drop to sixth after a 2-1 defeat to San Dimas. Alex Mac Allister put Ben ahead from the spot on 18 minutes but it was my returning player Wesley Fofana who was San Dimas’ game winner with a header from a corner and a clean sheet. The Aardvarks are eighth after a 3-1 defeat to Claymore. Danny Ward made a penalty save to put Clive in front and Claymore doubled their lead through Joel Veltman’s chested finish. Ben White struck from the edge of the six yard area to pull one back but Matty Cash got the clean to confirm the win.

Mega Bucks picked up a 1-1 draw at Trusted to get them off the bottom of the table. Bernardo Silva stretched to open the scoring for Beef after 67 minutes and it was a Nathan Ake clean that earned a point for Dave. YTFIB are going through one of their poor runs and went down 1-0 to Nil Satis. Demarai Gray’s penalty the only score of the game securing the win for Paul S.
