Mark Bridge scored the Western Sydney Wanderers first ever goal, but he too misses out! So who could keep this goalscoring trio out of the Team of the Week? Find out now...


GK: Mark Birighitti. 
Single-handedly responsible for keeping Victory at bay with a string of acrobatic saves in a first half where the Jets were overrun. For the second week in a row, let down by a defender - this time Tiago - for a goal he could do little about. The hype would be flowing around this man if it wasn't for a certain high-profile teammate of his.
 
RB: Pedj Bojic.
Scored a belter of a free kick that was one of the few moments of quality in a horrid game at AAMI Park. While not such a momentous occasion against a very weak Heart attack, he was part of a back four which kept a clean sheet, which is always nice for fantasy teams everywhere.
 
LB: Adama Traore.
A bundle of energy for 90 minutes down Victory's left flank, the Ivorian was unlucky to end up on the losing side. If his teammates had not spurned a number of chances he created, they might not have. While not usually considered his (or Victory's) forte, he tracked back well and looked defensively solid. 
 
CB: Michael Beauchamp.
A pillar of strength at the back for Wanderers, the captain repelled everything that came near him. His elegant distribution was important in setting the platform for their attack. Alongside Nikolai Topor-Stanley, he has been surprisingly consistent at the heart of the Wanderers defence, considering both players' most recent form before joining West Sydney.
 
CB: Iain Fyfe. 
The bearded colossus attracted attention from miles around for his hard, manly and macho performance. These characteristics of his performance were, of course, all down to the beard. The beard was, however, not responsible for his excellent clearances and interceptions over the 90 minutes.
 
RM: Youssouf Hersi. 
Not so much Wandering as bursting down the right wing all match for Western Sydney was their Dutch-Moroccan import. Dangerous crosses rained down from his right boot into Roar's box until he was given a rest late on, and he could have had a couple of goals if not for fine goalkeeping. Will go down in the history books after providing the assist for the Wanderers first ever goal. 
 
LM: Craig Goodwin. 
Another game where Goodwin stood out as a player of genuine quality on the left side of attack. If his form continues out on the left, he'll surely compete in the not-too-distant future for a Socceroos spot. And let's be honest, everyone - he's already better than David Carney.
 
CM: Ali Abbas. 
The Iraqi-Australian was in impeccable form in Sydney's midfield, tearing his Glory opponents apart in the second half of the game at ANZ Stadium. His ball to Brett Emerton to win the penalty and get Steve Pantelidis sent off was an absolute peach, and he was placing similar passes to feet all night. If the former Jets man can replicate this form over the rest of the season, he's sure to be as much of a fan favourite in Sydney as he was in Newcastle.
 
CM: Aaron Mooy.
Hit both posts with the first chance of the game and it bounced out. Even Wanderers fans might have been wondering if they were cursed in front of goal. But it was definitely Wanderers' night, and Mooy's. Wonderful interplay through midfield and defensive work stifling the likes of Thomas Broich made this his most complete performance yet. 
 
ST: Emile Heskey.
Well, that Heskelated quickly. After an abject first half where he was starved of service, the Jets responded by coming out on fire in the second half - and providing Heskey with the service he required. HeskeyCam viewers were treated to a neat finish for his first and a nice volley to make it a brace. Four goals in three games for the big man now - is Roy Hodgson aware that it's Heskey Time?
 
ST: Jeronimo Neumann. 
Scored two goals. Set one up. Dived to get a player sent off. Those first two are certainly enough to make our Argentine wizard worthy of a place in the team of the week. Let's just hope he cuts out the play-acting - for the sake of him, his team and the league. It's not a good look.
 
Coach: Tony Popovic.
Who else? Poppa put his faith in a lineup which just wasn't working at the attacking end of the pitch for the first three games. He gave them time to gel. Things weren't working, he changed his gameplan, and look what happened. Mooy and Hersi had their best games for Wanderers, Bridge had his best game for years, the back four looked impervious, and debutant Joey Gibbs' pace up front stretched the back four and provided a useful outlet. Poppa had them pressing hard, and had their fitness up to the point where they could do it for 90 minutes - and it nullified the back to back champions almost entirely. 
 
Referee: Chris Beath. 
As with Strebre Delovski last week, Beath controlled the game calmly and fairly, and got his major decisions correct. Thankfully, the most serious incidents were yellow cards. With Jeronimo's dive being at the forefront of the agenda after the weekend's matches, the declining standard of refereeing in the A-League will be on the agenda, but Chris Beath insulated himself from the debate - for this week at least.
