Following an emotional farewell to one of the Socceroos greats, Tim Cahill - and discovery of a new striker in Martin Boyle - the A-League resumed this weekend after the International break. Central Coast Mariners travelled West to face in-form side Perth Glory.
Neil Kilkenny - 7
Outstanding performance, controlling, dictating the pace of the game, finding huge amount of space in midfield.
Brandon Wilson - 7
Quiet in the first half, little bit sloppy in defence but working hard.
Ivan Franjic - 7
Getting forward down the right-hand side, giving Perth good width to exploit, putting in couple of fantastic crosses.
Joel Chianese - 7
Sloppy start, poor touches and wasteful crosses but redeemed himself with a delightful cross to Ikonomidis for the opening goal. Showed good composure on the ball as the game went on.
Andy Keogh - 7
Even though Rowles shadowed Keogh all game, he still held the ball up well. Always putting himself about and look a threat.
Chris Ikonomidis - 8
Chris Ikonomidis scores his second of the night with this late winner for @PerthGloryFC!

He has it all, fantastic composure on the ball, creating so much time and space when attacking on the right-hand side especially in the first half. Dominated when in possession, extremely comfortable taking on defenders, his skill is second to none. Got a brace. Ikonomidis second goal was coolly taken to give Perth all three points.
SUBS:
Dino Djulbic - 6
Came on at half-time for Grant who picked up a knock. But no real impact.
Diego Castro - 6
The Spaniard got a huge roar from the locals when he graced the field in the 75min. Look lively considering the amount of time he has been out of the game. More to come from him when he gets match fit.
Jake Brimmer - 6
No real impact when he came on in the second half.
