Monaco one step closer in an outstanding display away from home

Poulton Vics Monaco continued their league campaign with a trip out to Chester, to take on the high scoring Chester Nomads team that sat atop of the league prior to kick off. Monaco were 1 point behind with a game in hand, with Chester only having two games left, both against Monaco. It was a must win for both teams really.

Chester made the better start to the game, as they came out of the blocks quickly, looking very sharp. But much like the friendly at the end of last year, Monaco dug in and produced a fine defensive display to limit Chester to long range efforts. The longer the game went on, the more Monaco gained a foothold, as they were first to every loose ball, and challenged everything.

A through ball from Ellis gave Josh a fighting chance against the Chester defender, and as the keeper came out Josh slid in and poked the ball past the keeper and in to the empty net! 1-0

The goal was a huge blow to Chester, but as they restarted the game Monaco got stuck in and won the ball back, and as it came to Ellis he drove forward and unleashed a vicious left footed effort from outside the box which flew past the keeper. 2-0

The first half continued with both sides battling for control, but Monaco getting the better of the game with the superb Leighton, marshalling his defence of Zak, Isaac and George and Aden and Ky providing cover. Charlie was on hand to pick up or cover anything that made it's way through.

Ellis and Vlad continued to try and drive the game forward, with Seamus working hard and dropping in to challenge anyone, or show for the ball, Max and Josh trying to provide an outlet.

The second half was more of the same, with man of the match Ellis a particular threat in midfield. A fine move saw many players link up, and Josh's cross was not dealt with well by the Chester defence, Max managed to get to the loose ball first and turn the ball home. 3-0

The win puts Monaco 2 points clear at the top of the division, with a game in hand. They will be looking to beat Chester at Kingsway on 12th March to clinch the title, in what should be another thrilling game between the best two teams in the league.
