Nathan Bell was the man in control as he helped AEK Boco to a 5-0 win over Hartcliffe.

Playing in the middle of the park, he dominated the game defensively as well as scoring a spectacular goal.

In central midfield, Bell and his partner Luke House formed a formidable partnership.

In the first half they were the difference between the two sides, showing a great understanding as Bell predominantly filled the holding role, allowing House to play more creatively.

Nevertheless, their communication and knowledge of each other's games allowed them to switch roles when needed.

Bell was superb. His positioning was flawless and he read the game beautifully, making numerous interceptions and important tackles. He never let his defence go unprotected.

His goal was a stunner. After Mikey Golding had missed a chance, he received the rebound and played the ball back to Bell on the edge of the area.

Bell took a touch before striking a powerful shot into the top left corner. He said: "I don't usually score goals like that."

Robert Johnson, Boco's manager, said: "Nathan's a new signing. He gives us the height that we needed in the midfield area and his all-round fitness is superb."

Bell added: "We played well and were delighted to have beaten them 5-0 twice in two weeks. The whole team played well. I thought Fletch (Billy Fletcher) was brilliant at the back."

It was a terrific performance from the whole Boco side and there were numerous choices for the Star Man award. However, Bell was the stand-out performer, as he was the enforcer in midfield and his goal was a wonderful strike.
