Hammarby had reduced to 2-4 and chased another reduction target to create real nerve against Swedish champion Villa who chopped some during the season and is only third in the table. Then Esplund caught the ball in the penalty area and after a few quick dribbles, he put the ball in goal for 5-2 and finished the goal shooter. Then only the match was played.

Former hammer changer Jesper Eriksson scored two goals and suited up two and was very much involved in the victory.

- The family is the worst and there are always feelings for Hammarby since I came here as an immature 18-year-old. It was a very important win and we have been weak. We had a perfect season last year and all teams have weaknesses, we are not there yet but it is not playoffs yet, ”Jesper Eriksson tells Bandyplay.

Villa sued after the loss last Wednesday

Villa came in for revenge after the 5-4 loss in extra time against Broberg on Wednesday and before it even went three minutes made the team 1-0 in a match that was blown up 35 seconds early. Jesper Eriksson introduced himself and raised the ball to Tim Persson who finished free with goalkeeper Filip Mörkdal. When Villa went 3-0 after half an hour, the match already felt settled.

Hammarby has a heavy period and is clearing up losses.

- We showed that we want and fight and struggle and from that point of view it was a case ahead but it would have been a bonus to beat Villa. We need to beat Sandviken already on Wednesday. It will turn around, says Robin Sundin after the fifth straight loss.
