Mark Smith kept a fourth clean sheet in five matches as Hampton and Richmond Borough returned to top spot in the Ryman Premier League after a 3-0 win away at Brentwood Town on Tuesday night. The Beavers never looked back after former Bee Eddie Hutchinson opened the scoring with four minutes played. Jamal Lowe added a second and then a third either side of half-time with Smith making a good save to deny Marcus Milner on the hour to preserve his clean sheet. The win moves Borough back above East Thurrock United and leaves Alan Dowson's side two points clear at the top ahead of Saturday's trip to Burgess Hill Town.
Daniel O'Shaughnessy was an unused substitute as FC Midtjylland had a man sent off in their 2-1 defeat away at FC Nordsjælland on Monday night. Paul Onuachu put FCM ahead after four minutes with a neat lob but they were reduced to ten men just before the break as Andre Romer saw red for a wild lunge on half-way. The hosts took advantage in the second-half as David Moberg Karlsson and Emiliano Marcondes netted to inflict a second straight league defeat on FCM.
