Newcastle Jets have opened a gap on third place Melbourne City with a 2-1 win over Adelaide United at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Ben Kantarovski - 5
Had a pretty quiet afternoon, he was better in the second half after misplacing a few passes in the first.
Wayne Brown - 6
Started in the centre of midfield. Did his job well without doing any special. Was replaced after 74 minutes.
Dimitri Petratos - 8
Successfully converted from the spot for the winner. Was more dangerous in the second half than he was in the first.
Joseph Champness - 7
Was a bit quiet in the first half but came alive in the second, running with intent at the Adelaide defence. Just lacked that final touch.
Steven Ugarkovic - 6
Looked a bit out of place on the wing. Didn't offer anything going forward but naturally defended well and finished the match in the centre of midfield.

Andrew Nabbout - 8
Led the line for the Jets, came within an inch of opening in the scoring in the first half and scored the opener with a well taken finish.
