Magic 3-0 FC London

Sunday 20th April - MLF Round 5
Old Trafford, Manchester

FC London fell to their first defeat of the season as the Manchester Magic beat them with ease in the first MLF match staged at Old Trafford this season.

50,000 fans turned up for the Sunday afternoon game, however most of the crowd were decked out in red and white rather than gold and green.

But Juan Antonio García's Red and White Army didn't seem to help the Superhoops as FCL's Spanish manager García saw the Magic thrive.

Andrew 'Cezza' Corne scored the opener, but did not celebrate. Instead, the former FCL wing-back had his head down after scoring against his beloved old club.

A bleach blond Kevin Simms - another ex-Hoops player - scored the 2-0 and ran down the pitch to his knees, feeling he wasn't wanted at FCL despite winning Rookie of the Year with them in 2004.

And Rob Walton finished off FC London with a 'daisy-cutter' on the edge of the area.

FC London did create some chances with Craig Wisniewski and Bob Harry but they screwed up badly.
