Emmanuel could and should have won this game - so, some lessons to learn. Throughout the game the back four were, again, outstanding with captain Sharp leading by example at right-back, Arme and Riman winning everything in the middle, and Schad strong at left back. Building on this platform, Sweet, Walker and Lewis in midfield began to open up the Singh defence, and Emmanuel finally broke through as Aning got onto the end of an Etherington flick-on to lob the keeper with aplomb. At half-time, then, Emmanuel led one nil, and early in the second half looked like they would double that lead but it was Singh who got up a head of steam with a series of corners and free-kicks from which they finally scored, and soon after they made it 2-1. Emmanuel stormed back and laid siege to the Singh goal. Sharp's shot was blocked on the line, the Singh keeper saved brilliantly from man-of-the-match Etherington, and Frutuoso just headed over a superb Pownall cross. With minutes to go Emmanuel went to three at the back and, with seconds to go, Singh got a break away goal to seal the game.
