The Artisans still not quite there after being held 2-2 by Markian. Ben’s team needed a late fightback to grab that point too. Ian was two up through goals from Ismaila Sarr and Rayan, Omar Marmoush fired across the keeper two minutes into injury time to pull one back and Marc Guehi’s equalising clean edges Ben closer to his first title. The Muppets won again to keep the race alive, beating the Wateringhole 3-1. Ryan’s team flew into a two goal lead inside six minutes through Jack Hinshelwood and James Tarkowski. Harvey Barnes gave Kiran hope after 74 minutes but that was extinguished a minute later by Erling Haaland.

The CFJs and SGU stay in the third place fight after a 2-2 draw. Goals from Enzo Fernandez and Zian Flemming had Aaron’s team on top but the Cows were rescued by cleans from Gabriel and Nassar Mazraoui. Sandwiched between these teams are the Aardvarks. (Mmmm… Aardvark sandwich.) Ady’s team saw off San Dimas 3-1 thanks to goals from Lewis Dunk and Ollie Watkins plus a Dunk clean.

A first league defeat for Cheese Makers since Week 12 probably sees the end of Matthew’s third place hopes. The Cheese went down 3-0 to Trusted (Beto, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Leandro Trossard all on target for Beef) who are in the top half of the table for the first time this season. Trusted bumped Claymore down to ninth after Clive’s team were held 0-0 by Mega Bucks. That’s a first point for Dave after six straight defeats.

After an excellent early Ryan Gravenberch strike for YTFIB Julian’s team were beaten 2-1 at GC TotW. Ollie turned it round with cleans from Lisandro Martinez and Joel Veltman. Nil Satis landed their first win since week 17, 2-0 at Wheel Madrid. Jeremy Doku and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (from the spot) got the goals for Paul S that keeps Paul W in danger of equalling a couple of unwanted records.
