Sydney FC have proven why they’re confident of going back-to-back with a dominant 5-0 victory over their rivals Western Sydney Wanderers at ANZ Stadium.
Brandon O’Neill – 8
Tackled well. Passed well. Another good performance by the midfielder. Took his goal very well to give Sydney their biggest away win since 2014.
Josh Brillante – 8
Played similarly to O’Neill without getting the goal. Controlled the play.
Alex Brosque – 8
Another solid performance from the captain who netted his first goal of the season after 41 minutes. Should’ve scored a brace.

David Carney – 7
Strong on the ball to create the first goal, and made himself a nuisance for the Wanderers’ defence.
Adrian Mierzejewski – 10
Complete performance from the Pol. Two goals, including a thunderous free-kick. Dictated play up front with his passing, and attracted many fouls.
His only fault was his handball disallowing Zullo’s goal. Quietened down in the second stanza.
Bobo – 7
Uncharacteristically missed a golden chance from in front but the ball he delivered for Brosque’s goal was exquisite.
SUBS
Matt Simon – N/A
Replaced his captain in the final 20 minutes or so.
Anthony Kalik – N/A
Copped a slight knock soon after coming on.
Paulo Retre – N/A
The former Melbourne City man was brought on too late to do anything of note.
