Matches today, (League & Champs League).

LEAGUE. Matchday 3.

Result: ARABIC TEAM 1-2 LONDON CITY
Goals: Silva 10, Brown 54, Duggan 73
M.o.M: Jake Brown

Our stuttering start to the season, continued, with this hard fought win against what seems like an abandoned team. The home side took an early lead through Gary Silver. We kept pressing forward, but couldn't make a breakthrough, and trailed 0-1 at the interval. We sent on Jake Brown for the second half, and he made all the difference. Brown went on a solo run, and struck the equaliser within ten minutes of the restart. We began to dominate more and more, but only one more goal came our way, when Hector Morgada played a through ball, for Terry Duggan to clip home.


CHAMPS LEAGUE. Group Match 2.

Result: BUNJY FC 1-2 LONDON CITY
Goals: Andersson 16, Zola 54, Serkov 59
M.o.M: Stig Andersson

Although we won, this was yet another disappointing display, against the weakest team in our group. Stig Andersson scored the only goal of the first period, after being put in by a simple pass from Jake Brown. Adam Zola headed a second for us, from an Andreas Costa corner, shortly after the resumption. Sergey Serkov pulled one back for the home side, just on the hour mark, but we held out for an important win.


GENERAL THOUGHTS.

We are lying 2nd in the league with 7 points, without really getting into gear. In the CL, we are equal top with TAK fc. We both have 4 points and identical goal difference, (both scored 4 and conceeded 3). Our problems seem to be at home, where we have won just once and drawn three, in all competitions. Away from home, we have won all 4 matches.

On a brighter note tonight, 'keeper Keith Cross went up a star rating to 5*, while DC, Clayton Manning, and ML, Jake Brown, both became scouts, all through normal training (no PT).
