FC BAHMUT 1-5 LONDON CITY
We went into this match in the Ukraine, having watched 2nd place Ibrahim, lose 0-2 at home. That result gave us a real lift and we set about giving ourselves a huge advantage at the top. Defender Fabio Haller gave us the lead on 16 minutes, after a fine solo run and shot. Bahmut equalised eleven minutes later, but we grabbed back the initiative on 35', when Jacob Wilkinson finished off a move from Wayne Dixon. Seven minutes into the second half, Wilkinson found space for himself to score his second and our third. On 62 minutes, Dixon again set up a goal, this time for Homer Simpson. With just three minutes on the clock, Dixon was rewarded with a goal of his own, after a superb solo run. Wilkinson marred his day by collecting a yellow card late on. Not surprisingly, Dixon got man of the match.
The win, coupled with Ibrahim's loss, now sees us 7 points ahead at the top, with games running out. Tomorrow we play rock bottom side, FC Manchester, at home. They have just three points in the table, and have a goal difference of -93. But we must not count our chickens.
