Juande - 6      

Physical presence in midfield, combined well with Neil Kilkenny, but lost his head a little in the second.

Neil Kilkenny - 8    

Fantastic display, including a centimetre perfect ball to Chianese for the forward’s second goal. Has 238-odd more passes than anybody else in Perth's side, an incredible statistic.

Brendon Santalab - 7      

Fantastic finish to send Perth into half-time with a three goal advantage, dreams of scoring against Sky Blue.

Joel Chianese - 8

One of – if not his best – performances in the A-League. Sensational close control and well-deserving of a brace, could have had a hat-trick.

Diego Castro - 7    

Like a fine wine, Castro just gets better with age. Exerts his influence effortlessly and with sublime style, but lost the ball a few too many times in the second. We'll put it down to match fitness.

SUBS

Andy Keogh - 6

Is he going to Melbourne City? Didn't do anything to prove otherwise...

Scott Neville - 7

Only on for a few minutes, but he bombed forward purposefully, transitioned possession intelligently and generally had a fantastic influence.

Jacob Italiano - N/A
