In a dead-rubber fixture to end a dead season for the Wellington Phoenix, they came out on top against a flat Melbourne City to move off the bottom of the A-League ladder.
Goran Paracki – 5.5
Was chasing shadows for most of the first half as City got on top in the midfield. However, in the second with the help of his teammates the Croatian improved.
Michael McGlinchey – 6
As a player who likes to be on the ball, it was a tough first half for McGlinchey as Wellington conceded lots of possession. But once again as the Nix got on top in the second he improved and began to dictate things.
Matija Ljujic – 6.5
Struggled in the first half without his usual partner in crime Andrija Kaludjerovic up front. But as the home side started to dictate things in the second half he began to find pockets of space and cause City problems.
Nathan Burns – 5
Another disappointing outing for the former Socceroo who was ineffective and scarcely involved. Even when Wellington got on top he still couldn’t make an impact.
Roy Krishna – 6.5
A frustrating day at the office for the Fijian, who was left isolated for much of the game. However, he decided to come deeper to receive the ball and was unlucky not to have one or two to his name in the second half.

Sarpreet Singh – 8
A man of the match display by the young Kiwi whose brace won it for the hosts. Took his first goal with real class and swagger and took a gamble by shooting for the second. Definitely one to watch next season if he stays.
