New signing Gui Finkler and Fijian striker Roy Krishna both scored doubles in the shock win against City who started with a strong line-up including guest marquee Tim Cahill.

Cahill opened the scoring after 15 minutes, netting on the half-volley after Josh Rose’s pass.

Wellington, who also boasted a near-full strength starting XI, leveled four minutes later through Krishna after good work from Kosta Barbarouses.

Finkler put Phoenix ahead shortly prior to the interval with a deflected free-kick.

Krishna added another moments before the break to give Wellington a 3-1 lead.

Finkler sealed the result with another goal from a free-kick on 56 minutes.

Wellington are due to next face Central Coast in Sydney next Saturday, while City meet Newcastle Jets in Ballarat on Sunday.
