FC MANCHESTER 0-6 LONDON CITY
We comfortably beat the bottom team, in the end, but it wasn't as easy as the scoreline suggests. It was only 2-0 with just ten minutes left. Jacob Wilkinson opened the scoring on 23'. Just before the break, Greg Fucillo doubled our lead. In the second half, we withdrew Sani Negedu and sent on Vener Chekmarev. The game suddenly went crazy in the 80th minute, when Wayne Dixon passed across for Wilkinson to grab his second, and our third. Three minutes later, Wilkinson completed his hat-trick. He then turned provider, and set up Fucillo for his own second goal. Ronan Kelly ended the scoring on 88' with his first goal for the club. Not surprisingly, Wilkinson was awarded man of the match.
The win now gives us 19 points and 2nd place in the table, two points behind Ibrahim FC. Tomorrow we are at home to our long time adversaries, PTO Alcudia, who are in 5th position, with 15 points.
