A wild battle in the West saw Perth Glory come back from being a goal down to win 2-1 against Central Coast Mariners in Round 3 of the A-League at nib Stadium on Sunday.
Chris Harold - 7.5
Made several great runs forward and got in behind, he also had a chance that flashed across goal in the second half.
Harold linked-up superbly with Castro and Taggart to create chances.
Andreu Guerao - 6.5
Placed a sumptuous through ball for Taggart who was just offside. Tried to get more accurate balls through but wasn’t able to make his usual impact in midfield.
Xavi Torres - 5.5
Another Spaniard on Glory’s list with noticeable La Liga experience.
Thwarted Roux’s whipped cross, but other than that, he didn’t make a huge impact for Perth.
Diego Castro - 7.5
Was able to find his feet after a quiet few minutes and looked dangerous with direct passes and was the main man in Glory’s counter-attack.
Was lively and won the ball countless times.

Adam Taggart - 8.5
The striker was named in Round 2’s Team of the Week after netting a brace against Newcastle, and he now has three goals to his name for the season thus far.
His first chance came from a Keogh pass, but he miss-timed his kick in front of goal to equalise. He was then at the post for Lowry’s header, and although he stretched out, it went wide only by a few inches and couldn’t get a touch.
He couldn’t capitalise after a few more chances, but finally scored in tremendous fashion with the winner, and also assisted Keogh for the initial equaliser.
Andy Keogh - 8
Beautiful run off of Castro’s pass to then cross in for Taggart in a massive chance to level.
Had a few chances before he put home a beautiful header to level the scoring.
SUBS
Jake Brimmer, Brandon Wilson and Joseph Knowles all came on but didn’t do enough to warrant a fair rating.
