Jersey Bulls extended their unbeaten run in the league to 22 games as they beat Epsom and Ewell 5-1 in Combined Counties Premier South.

The Bulls impressed in the early part of the game and took the lead when Toby Ritzema headed in a Rai Dos Santos corner after 23 minutes.

Dos Santos doubled the lead 16 minutes later when he headed in a free-kick.

The visitors replied through Niall Stillwell’s 63rd-minute goal despite Bulls protests that goalkeeper Euan van der Vliet was fouled, but Ritzema blasted in a third for the islanders four minutes later to restore their two-goal cushion.

Bulls scored two goals in a three-minute spell to end any lingering doubts – first Karl Hinds converted a Jonny le Quesne ball into the box before Dos Santos calmly slotted home his second.

It saw the islanders score five or more goals for the sixth time this season – they have yet to lose a league game under manager Elliott Powell as they remain third in the division.

Bulls have two games in hand on second-placed Redhill and have played four fewer than leaders AFC Whyteleafe, who travel to Jersey in two weeks.
