PERTH GLORY

Liam Reddy – 4

Came way out of his goal to try to deal with Ingham’s through ball, but ended up missing it completely, taking out his defender Lowry in the process to leave Taggart with an open goal.

Dino Djulbic – 6

Won everything in the air but looked predictably slow and sluggish on the deck. Substituted for Franjic on the hour mark.

Shane Lowry – 7

Copped a huge knock from his own goalkeeper in the lead-up to Taggart’s opener, and seemed to be feeling the effects for the remainder of the half. Much improved once he recovered in the second.

Alex Grant – 6.5

Tempted fate with his challenge on Taggart on the stroke of half time, which could have resulted in a red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity. Sacrificed for Santalab with a quarter of an hour to go.

Scott Neville – 7

Started well and provided energy down the right, but his final ball was lacking. Showed his versatility to move into the back three in the second half.

Jason Davidson – 7.5

Provided some nice touches in the first half but wasn’t involved enough in possession, and was occasionally caught out of position on the counter attack. Much brighter in the second as Perth got on top.
