Four-midable Cohen inspires Dons - The Jewish Chronicle

The Dons were ahead within five minutes after a collector's item: a very rare goal from Jordan Rinsler. And it was 2-0 soon after, as Cohen scored his first goal of the game. SPEC pulled one back before Cohen's stunning free-kick gave the visitors a 3-1 lead at the break. SPEC brought the deficit back to one soon after the restart, but the impressive Cohen restored the two-goal cushion with a sublime chip with his weak foot to bring up his hat-trick.

SPEC scored another goal late on but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation. Zack Neiman, Jamie Smaje and Josh Green registered for SPEC. Dons manager, Jamie Nagioff, said: "That's two wins from two now for 2020 and we look completely unrecognisable compared to the side that was struggling for points earlier this season. "It was a well-fought game but our early lead, coupled with a constant threat going forward, meant we never looked like losing the game." Nagioff added: "We're already looking forward to next week's game and if we put in a similar performance to the last two matches, we believe we can make it three wins on the bounce." SPEC player-manager Ricky Lawrence told JC Sport: “It was a disappointing day at the office.” SPEC: Jack Christie, Daniel Cohen, Jeff Gotch, Jonathan Pressman, Scott Gurvitz, David Kendall, Dan Linton, Jamie Smaje, Rafe Neiman, Josh Green, Zack Neiman SCORERS: Neiman 27, Green 50, Smaje 85 DONS: Adam Brown, Adam Lisberg, Josh Moses, Nick Phillips, Jordan Rinsler, Marc Charles, Marc Rister, Benjamin Rodol, Sam Stead, Zach Cohen.
