Vegas Fight Tooth And Nail To Win With 10 Men

<p>Magical Vegas put an incredible 25 minute spell of clinical finishing and team work to blow opponents - Dover Castle, away to win an enthrawling game 3-1 at the top of Division 1.

<p>Dover Castle enjoyed 60% possession and a 1-0 lead thanks to a back post tap in with only 15mins on the clock, Vegas couldnt string passes together and attacks regularly broke down before they could get close to the dover castle goal. Without conceding chances Vegas rarely threatened with 3 half chances falling to Patrick Moore Jones who saw his back post header from a Paul Reid corner drift inces wide, a shot blocked in the area after a Kaleb King cut back and was centimeters from connecting with another Kaleb King delivery.

<p>Dissappointed with their first half performance the Vegas boys turned up the tempo in the 2nd hlaf but felt it was being hindered by some poor decisions from the referee. It all boiled over when Paul 'Trigz' Reid was booked for a accidental handball and Hussein Hussein's dissent got him a red card to put the Vegas boys down to 10 men. However, this seemed to galvanize the team and their energy was quickly rewarded when the two substites, Luke Morgan drifted past 2 tackles before releasing Steven Bruce who fired in a low shot across the goalie into the bottom corner.

<p><br />With all the momentum going their way, Patrick Moore Jones fired in a free-kick into the box that caused chaos and after a Bruce shot was blocked the ball fell to Shane McNamara to tap in to send them into the lead. Dover Castle didnt know what happened and couldnt find a response although had a decent shout for a penalty rejected by the referee.

<p>With a few minutes remaining, Trigz and Bruce combined from well within their own half to release Moore Jones into space who drove forward and hit a reverse pass to Bruce who slotted in at the near post to wrap up a memorable victory and send Magical Vegas FC 5 points clear at the top of the league.
