A third of the way into the season and we have still have two unbeaten teams.
Claymore are back on top after an ultimately routine win over the Muppets. Clive did have to wait until the 69th minute to break through, with Dusan Tadic from the spot, but Scott Dann soon followed up his own header to double the lead and Maya Yoshida and Alex Kolarov doubled that score with cleans. Ryan's 7-2 win over Matthew in week seven looking like a false dawn. Athletico lose top spot but it could have been worse, Brian rescuing a point thanks to a Maarten Stekelenburg clean sheet. Dave was eyeing up a third straight win thanks to another excellent Philippe Coutinho strike but couldn't hold on.
The top two swapping places has led to San Dimas closing back in. My team swept aside Nil Satis 4-0. Yannick Bolasie fired in on 21 minutes, Romelu Lukaku outpaced the defence just before the break and Jamie Vardy added another one from the spot in the second half. Paul and Dan's side hav got just four counters in five weeks. It was a second straight defeat for Fred, this time at FCK2. Harry Kane appears to be back in his groove and got the first goal just after the half hour for the FCK2ers. Micah Richards and Glen Johnson added cleans for the winners who are only six points off the top.
After complimenting the Artisans for their rise up the table they've now lost the last two matches 4-2. Second half goals from Jesse Lingard (an excellent measured shot from outside the box) and Kieran Gibbs had Ben in control but Chris and sons had four clean sheets to turn the tables. They're up to sixth and are showing a bit of form. The Aardvarks sit between those two teams in the table after an entertaining goalless draw with the Wateringhole Society.
Cheese Makers are top of the bottom half after their best performance this season in probably the game of the week against Final Fantasy. Ceri led twice, first through Ayoze Perez and later through Jonny Howson's close range header but Matthew replied both times, first through Manuel Lanzini (see Jesse Lingard) and then Troy Deeney from the spot. The Cheesers got their winner in injury time. Juan Mata keeping his nerve to convert another penalty. Trusted pulled away from the bottom with a win over YTFIB. Julian led through Marco Arnautovic's acrobatic half-volley but Beef cam through courtesy of Ryan Shawcross and Nicolas Otamendi.
