The left-footed forward was one of six different scorers as Common hammered Oakwood 6-1 at The Oval on Saturday, with all of their goals coming during a remarkable first half.

Common player-manager Russell Eldridge said: “He (Lewis) keeps on racking up the goals, but it was nice in a way for the goals to be shared around.

“It was a good, solid first half performance. We were very ruthless in all honesty. We had about eight or nine chances and scored six of them.

“In terms of a 45-minute performance it was probably one of the better ones because of the number of goals we’ve scored, but we’ve had a number of good performances so far this season.

“At half time it was over as a contest. I was a little bit disappointed by the second half, but I guess sometimes it’s difficult to maintain those levels.”
