Premier Division

Stansfeld 6-6 Rusthall

 

The only Premier Division game of the night came from the Artic Stadium and produced a English football first for this season, with Stansfeld and Rusthall drawing 6-6.

Midfielders Ollie Andrews and Robert Hughes gave Stansfeld a 2-0 lead inside 25 minutes, before Rusthall pulled a goal back through Louis Anderson’s free-kick.

Stansfeld right-back Ibrahim Barrie tucked home a set-piece before striker Chris Alhassan notched his fourth goal of the season to seemingly kill the game off by the break.

However, Rusthall produced an almighty come back with striker Louie Clarke, centre-half Robbie Bissett, substitute left-back Jack Lyons all scoring to make it 4-4 after 77 minutes.

Italian left-winger Yassin Fares scored two clinical strikes, which were sandwiched between a 40-yard free-kick from Stansfeld winger Harvey Mead, who like Fares had scored his third of the season.

Rusthall felt they had snatched victory through Fares’ last minute strike before former Rusthall striker Greg Williams’ scored with a glancing header deep into injury time to restore parity.

It was a first time this season that there has been a 6-6 draw in the top 10 Steps of English Football and for all at 81 at the game it was no doubt the first time that they had seen a 12 goal game end as a draw.
