AFC Alsager went top of the Men Unite Premier Division after ousting Foley Meir 3-2 in a clash of the early pacesetters.

The Swans inflicted a first defeat of the season and leapfrogged Foley Meir, who came into Saturday's clash with a 100 percent start to the league campaign.

Playing in front of a big crowd at the Alsager Sports Hub, the Swans took an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Harry Livingstone and Lucas Baker.

The visitors reduced the deficit before half-time and grew into the game in the second half.

However, Jordan Rigby restored the hosts' two goal lead before Foley set up a nervy finish with a late goal.

The Swans defended well to see the game out and clinch a crucial three points.

AFC Alsager travel to fourth place Redgate Clayton on Saturday.
