Who you Gooner call?

Dream Team were mugged at home against Abu Dhabi United. Abu Dhabi have fashioned an effective side and the pulled off an impressive smash and grab raid away to Dream Team. Dream Team dominated possession but Abu Dhabi caught them on the counter attack many times. In the 51st minute Abu Dhabi would earn a penalty which Ger Wattamaleo proceeded to miss but just four minutes later Steve Worthington would fire Abu Dhabi ahead as another of their counter attacks worked, this time producing a goal. A 76th minute header from John Butcher seemed to have sealed the points for Abu Dhabi but an 81st minute header from Kris Krafty meant that Abu Dhabi couldn't relax for the last ten minutes of the game.

Final score: Dream Team 1-2 Abu Dhabi United

Gooners just edged a close game against promotion rivals Bully Boys. In a game where possession and chances were even between the two sides Gooners made their chances count and pulled off an impressive win that could have gone either way. A 7th minute Dennis Bergkamp header put Gooners into the ascendancy and when Thierry Henry's long range strike went in just two minutes before half time it seemed to be plain sailing for the Gooners. Ike Dyer made it uncomfortable for the Gooners when he scored a debut goal for Bully Boys in the 68th minute, surely a sign of things to come?
but in such a close game more chances were hard to come by for either side and the score remained as it was. FMR said despite an impressive result keeping them in the promotion hunt his focus was still on his younger players rather than promotion.

Final score: Bully Boys FC 1-2 Gooners
