Preview:

Fresh from ensuring their league cup progression last time out, Ewell faced an unknown quantity in the form of league newcomers Claygate Royals.

The Match:

5

CHANCE

Tanous collects the ball and delivers a measured cross towards Bullock, who had ghosted into the box from midfield. The latter is inches away from providing a connection.

26

GOAL

Chipperton. Assist: Tanous. After threatening from a number of long-throws, Ewell take the lead after Chipperton prods home Tanous’ flick.

HALF TIME – Claygate Royals 0 - AFC Ewell 1

58

GOAL

Tanous. Assist: Clancy. Clancy’s long throw results in chaos once more and Tanous opens up his body and expertly guides the ball into the far corner to double Ewell’s lead.

78

GOAL

Claygate set up a nervy finale as they get themselves on the scoresheet despite rarely troubling Ewell.

86

GOAL

Ewell squander their advantage and the hosts equalise in the most fortuitous of circumstances. Having benefitted from a questionable high-foot decision, the resulting free-kick hits the wall and deflects into the top corner.

89

CHANCE

Victor evades the Claygate backline and produces a goal-bound effort that the keeper just about manages to steer wide.

FULL TIME – Claygate Royals 2 - AFC Ewell 2

The verdict:

The manner of their collapse and the nature of the equaliser meant that Ewell left the field of play feeling a sense of disappointment and deflation. Although it might have felt like a defeat, Ewell will have to bounce back from this setback and will look to prolong their unbeaten start to the season.
