Panthers get back to winning ways with a 4-1 emphatic victory over Piddlehinton ⚽️
The home team started well and quickly took control of the game with the lions share of possession. Despite having all of the ball, they only created a few half chances and struggled to break down the solid Piddlehinton defence. 0-0 at half time wasn't a fair reflection of how the game was going but the lads knew they needed to step up and make the breakthrough. Panthers started the second half slowly and Piddlehinton had a great chance to take the lead, only for their striker to shoot wide. This seemed to kick the panthers back into gear and Hayden Winter headed in from a great cross by Finn Carvell to put the home team 1 up. Next came a goal of the season contender. Piddlehinton cleared a ball which fell to Cooper Judkins almost 40 yards out. He connected with the bouncing ball and absolutely smashed it into the bottom corner. 'Worldy' doesn't do it justice! If the net wasn't on the goal, the ball would still be travelling now 💥
Piddlehinton got 1 back from one of their trademark long throws to put the pressure back on the home team, but up stepped Fred Whitehead with the panthers 3rd, 3 minutes from time, to seal the win. But he wasn't finished there and scored another goal of the season contender on the 90th minute. After picking up the ball in his own half, he ran the length of the pitch beating everyone in his way and smashed the ball home to round off a superb victory and bagging himself the man of the match.
A great performance from everyone today and a well deserved 3 points.
