Manchester Phoenix 3-0 Sheffield Steeldogs
Manchester Phoenix have stepped up in their challenge of retaining the English Premier League title after shutting out rivals Sheffield on Thursday night.
Phoenix have now won ten of their last eleven games with their only defeat coming last Sunday where they went down 5-2 to the league leading Guildford Flames.
With the game deadlocked at 0-0 after forty minutes on Thursday, Phoenix scored three times in eight minutes to seal an important win that keeps them in the hunt for a second league title.
Goals from Tom Duggan, Ciaran Long and Slava Koulikov ensured Phoenix took the points whilst another stand out performance from netminder Steve Fone was a highlight in a gritty nights work from the home side.
Player coach Tony Hand said “It wasn’t a pretty win, but we’ll take it. We needed to get another victory under our belts after the disappointment of losing to Guildford on Sunday.
“We’re still in the mix at the top of the league and we’ll keep plugging away. The guys did well tonight against tough opposition.”
