GREGORY ‘Jackie Chan’ Richardson continued his dominating performance in the Stag Elite League as the forward inspired Pele FC to a 3 – 1 over Buxton United last evening at the Tucville ground. 

Playing in the opening game of the night’s double header, Richardson opened Pele’s account just seven minutes into the game when he sweetly timed a Travis ‘Zorro’ Grant pass and hammered it with a left footed volley that easily beat Jason Cromwell in goal.
Richardson continued to haunt Buxton United’s defence but was unsuccessful in his attempt for another strike.
Meanwhile, Clive Andries made Pele pay for their defensive breakdown when he stoked in from point blank range.
Despite their (Buxton United) goal, Pele still had the upper hand standing firm behind Richardson as they continued to torment their opponents.
Just before the close of the half, Richardson set up Julian Joseph for his thunderous right foot shot from just outside the 18 yards area.
Heading into the second stanza with a 2 – 1 advantage Richardson in several occasions troubled Cromwell in goal but the lanky Buxton United custodian kept the feared forward off the sheets.
Rawle Gordon put the icing on the cake for Pele FC in the 55th minute with his goal. Omallo Williams picked up a red card in the 78th minute to leave Pele with 10 but the handicap did not shift the weight of the match.
The win now sees Pele moving a thetop the points table with seven points and their second win of the League. It was also Richarson’s third goal; the most by any player in the Stag Elite League.
