Sanchez was all class for the 70 minutes he played as he bagged a first-half double with clinically taken goals in the 16th and 34th minutes.

Chris Greenacre, on his 34th birthday, slid in for a third in the 39th minute leaving the Jets reeling by half-time.

The visitors pulled one back through Sung-Hwan Byun early in the second half from a direct free-kick but Pavlovic, who replaced Sanchez, made the game safe with two goals in two minutes before Ryan Griffiths headed home a late consolation for the Jets.

Both teams had a reshuffled look to them but it had no negative effect on the Phoenix who dominated from the opening whistle and looked to play the game at pace.

In the absence of Tony Lochhead (groin), Paul Ifill (groin) and Nicky Ward (concussion), Vinnie Lia dropped to right-back and Manny Muscat shifted to left-back while Daniel and Sanchez came into an attacking midfield.

But Alex Smith, who got his first goal for the Phoenix against Melbourne Victory last weekend, was switched to a more defensive midfield role alongside Tim Brown.

The Jets welcomed back Nikolai Topor-Stanley in place of Taylor Regan, while Ben Kantarovski and Jacob Pepper came in for Kasey Wehrman (rested) and Jobe Wheelhouse (suspended).

Ali Abbas was also preferred up front to Jeremy Brockie.

But they were completely outplayed in midfield and barely had a shot on goal in the first half and at half-time Abbas made way for Brockie and Francis Jeffers was replaced by Michael Bridges.

Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert has long been looking for another creative spark to complement Paul Ifill and in Sanchez he appears to have found his man.

In Ifill's absence the Spaniard stepped into that creative role with aplomb.

He showed plenty of intricate touches, good speed, a cool head and perfect finishing as he and Daniel, who was also outstanding, provided the impetus and vision from midfield.
