That's a wrap for Melbourne Victory's Premier hopes, but it blasts the door wide open for Newcastle Jets finals hopes. See how the players rated...
Newcastle Jets
Glen Moss - 8
A few choice saves after earning a new contract this week. 36-years-old has never looked so spritely.
Nikolai Topor-Stanley - 9
Very solid under a lot of pressure, one of his finest displays this season.
Nigel Boogaard - 7
Spun by Honda a few times but who hasn’t been, and while he wasn't as effective as Topor, no one really was.
Lachlan Jackson - 8
A very strong performance all-in-all, if he can play in one of the finest defensive displays this season as comfortably as he did, he deserves an extended run in the squad.
Johnny Koutroumbis - 8
Great finish for the goal but where was Corey Brown? Or any other Victory defender for that matter? Absolute gift.
Daniel Georgievski - 8
Very influential, superb attacking and consistent crossing to boot. One of the most consistently threatening fullbacks in the league.
Steven Ugarkovic - 7
He showed glimpses of the Cesc Fabregas-esque deep-plying playmaker he was last season. He’s got this natural physicality and can play a centimetre perfect switching ball, but he lacks the explosiveness of a Kearyn Baccus. Therefore, just glimpses.
Benjamin Kantarovski - 8
Brilliant, unselfish display in midfield. Pressed intelligently, defended brilliantly.
