Nil Satis went toe-to-toe with the Artisans and when Ansu Fati’s first WSFFL goal made it 2-2 five minutes after half-time it must have had the leaders worried. For a bit at least until Kurt Zouma and Jamal Lascelles got the clean sheets to give Ben a 4-2 win and maintain his 100% record and Paul’s 0% record. The Aardvarks are still three points behind and had an easier time of it, winning 6-1 at San Dimas. Ollie Watkins led the way with a hat-trick, Son Heung-Min and Ben White were also on target as was Pervis Estupinan who capped off a disappointing performance with an own goal. All rather overshadowing Kai Havertz’s first goal for me.

There’s a five point gap to third now and the Muppets top four teams on that mark following a 3-1 win at Wheel Madrid. Armando Broja put Ryan in front on 19 minutes then late goals from Jacob Ramsey and Joel Matip lashing into his own net in injury time made the points safe. The Wateringhole are fourth after a 4-2 reverse at SGU. This was 2-2 at the break (Saka and Gakpo for Kiran, a Dias own goal and a stunning Joachim Andersen strike for Aaron) and was settled by SGU cleans from Andersen and Kieran Trippier. 

Cheese Makers swept Fred West aside 4-0 to go fifth. Julian Alvarez curled in a free-kick on 58 minutes, Douglas Luis placed a shot from the edge of the area home in injury time and David Raya Martin and Nayef Aguerd added cleans. Fred has lost as many games this season as he did in the whole of last season. Mega Bucks’ good start was derailed by Markian 3-1. Carlton Morris had Dave in front just after the half hour, an early Alex Zinchenko clean levelled it and two more cleans, from Sam Johnstone and Fabian Schar, get Ian going in the right direction again.

Trusted and YTFIB finished 1-1. Hwang Hee-Chan is in the form of his life and put Julian ahead from six yards on 66 minutes. Beef earned his point with an Emerson Palmeri clean. Slight surprise result of the week was the CFJs beating Claymore 3-1. First half goals from Miguel Almiron and Tomas Soucek had the Cows in command but a smart Nicolas Dominguez header had Clive back in contention before Vladimir Coufal’s clean confirmed the CFJs second win of the season.
