The game between the top two ended in a 3-2 win for the Muppets and a five point lead for Ryan’s team. The picture looked very different at half-time with J-P Mateta and Leandro Trossard putting Trusted 2-0 ahead. There was no Erling Haaland for Ryan but clean sheets meant no problem with the crucial three coming from Ederson, Jurrien Timber and Tosin Adarabioyo. The Wateringhole Society and Cheese Makers have joined Beef’s team on 44 points. The Wateringhole beat Markian 2-0 with a simple Harvey Barnes finish on 34 minutes and a Maio Gusto clean. Cheese Makers beat Nil Satis 3-0, scoring all three in the first 14 minutes. Jacob Murphy picked up a close range brace and Alexis Mac Allister smacked in a shot like a tracer bullet to keep Matthew in the title hunt.

The CFJs are fifth, a place ahead of this week’s victims SGU but at eight points back a lot would have to fall into place for these teams to get among the honours. Danny Welbeck gave the Cows the lead at the break, Pablo Sarabia and Jorgen Strand Larsen added second half goals before Kieran Trippier’s clean pulled one back for Aaron as it finished 3-1 to Chris and Co. The Artisans edged the Aardvarks 3-2 to go seventh. Mathys Tel’s injury time penalty made it 2-1 to Ady’s side but there was still time for Ben to snatch all the points through cleans by Diogo Dalot and Conor Bradley. Ninth place is the highest San Dimas have been in the league since week one! My team are back there after beating GC TotW 3-0. A great bit of Rodrigo Muniz skill got the goal for the Saints, Dan Burn and Josko Gvardiol got the clean sheets.

Claymore eased past Wheels 3-0 and stay 11th. Donyell Malen and Daniel Munoz were on target for Clive and Leny Yoro picked up a clean. YTFIB pulled themselves further away from the basement battle with a 4-2 win at Mega Bucks. After going behind to Alex Iwobi’s goal Dave turned it round to lead 2-1 courtesy of two Evanilson goals. It wasn’t enough though as Julian had cleans from Nick Pope. Nathan Collins and Ricardo Pereira from the bench to take all three points.
