Tumbling records, points fully proven, a star in the making and a dive for the ages...here is the best and worst of Wellington Phoenix's 2-2 draw with Melbourne City.

Defensive frailties
While both sides have impressed at stages and flattered to deceive at others, Wellington's defensive issues are a little more troublesome. For starters, they drop back way too quickly and pensively, which means Filip Kurto has to bail them out all too regularly.
There's a distinct lack of focus at times, whether it's Michael Kopczynski or Libertao Cacace, there are too many in that backline ready to switch off or unable to contest physically when it matters.
City - and I've barely mentioned them tonight despite their decent performance and Brattan's brilliance - have a more straightforward issue. Play the same back four, in the same positions, for more than a game at a time.
That enough?
