London score 5 in the first half alone as they cruise past Norden in Matchday 18
By: Drew Peacock
Heavily favored London Wembley Wanderers hosted Norden FK in one of the highest scoring matches of the season. London was able to continue their early scoring streak with a goal from Amine Amzal in the 3rd minute. Tomar Jr found Amzal after the defense lost him, giving him an easy chance against last season's best keeper, Myung Choi. Not long after, twelfth minute, while being fouled, Tomar Jr got his goal, giving London the lead 2-0. The scoring would continue as the hosts would score three more times before the half-time whistle. Tomar Jr got his brace in the 30th minute and did a backflip to celebrate. Not to be out done, Amine got his brace in the 36th minute. Both the 3rd and 4th goals came via through passes, giving the strikers great scoring opportunities. Teemu Tolvani got his brace of assists as he helped Tomar Jr to his hat trick. He scored in the 12th, 30th, and 43rd minutes, giving Tomar a near 30-minute hat trick. Before Norden could even do anything about it, the game was against them; 5-0 London lead.
Norden captain Andrew Tate must have made an amazing team talk as Norden came out and scored in their first attack of the second half, Massimo Cruz crossing into the box, Tate using his height advantage to get one back; 5-1. Norden were not done with their comeback attempt yet, as Kenan Bosnic got them a second goal in the 63rd minute, assisted by Pingu Nootazuki; 5-2. London put solid pressure on the Norden defense, creating a turnover for Tomar to set up Amine Amzal's hat trick. This is the first match in recent memory where two players scored hat tricks in the same game for the same team. London would settle their defense and hold Norden scoreless, seeing out a 6-2 win. Some late frustrations saw Tyrese Harden pick up a yellow card, his second of the season, meaning he'll miss Norden's next match.
