FC PHUKET bounced back from a string of road routs with a 6-1 trouncing of Thai Honda last night - spoiled only by a Phuket player breaking a leg.
The unlucky break came for Tawin ''Num'' Boodsombut soon after he scored the second goal at the 47-minute mark to close out the first half with Phuket well on top.
The striker who wears number No.10 was taken to Bangkok Hospital Phuket, where the break was diagnosed. His goal followed an early match-breaker at the three minute mark, scored by Ivory Coast import Nenebi Sylvestre.
In the second half, the goals came frequently, with Coulibaly Abdoul scoring at the 52-minute mark, followed by Choi Jaewon five minutes later.
A goal to Thai Honda interrupted proceedings briefly but Kone Adama wrapped the evening up nicely with goals at 79 minutes and again at 92 minutes.
What with a win that came when the opposition fielded too many expat players, a fine because ''Hulk'' fans behaved badly, an unfinished match with six minutes to play, a leg-break and a 6-1 trouncing simply add to Phuket's turbulent adventures in Division One.
If the team can just get themselves going on the road, the title could be theirs for the taking.
Certainly the fan base is continuing to grow, with more than 5000 turning out at Surakul Stadium in Phuket City for a night filled with action.
