Siem de Jong - 8    

Three assists, beginning to really show his value. Played a key part in Sydney's resurgence, showing class offensively when Sydney were struggling to dominate.

Brandon O'Neill - 7

Sydney's holding midfielders are having trouble controlling games early, dictating pace and inconsistent passing, but O'Neill recovered late and it had an instant impact.

Milos Ninkovic - 7.5 

Makes the right decisions at the right times, becoming better each week. 

Alex Brosque - 9  

Heavily involved early and despite some slightly inconsistent decision-making, provides an important mixture of experience, quality and work-rate. Ended up with a beautiful hat-trick.

Adam Le Fondre - 7

Few hit-and-hopes early, exhibiting some strange choices when pulled deep, but he played better in the second half as well.

SUBS

Anthony Caceres - 6

Looked steady on the ball without providing anything spectacular.

Luke Ivanovic - 7

Fantastic in transition, breaking runs, should have scored.

Jacob Tratt - 7

Once again, should have scored. A dynamic presence in the penalty area.
