Tarek Elrich scored a dramatic 95th minute equaliser as the Wanderers finished their final game at Spotless Stadium with a draw.
A last-gasp goal from Tarek Elrich gave Western Sydney a share of the points against A-League leaders Perth in their final game at Spotless Stadium.
It appeared Chris Ikonomidis’ first-half goal would be enough to ensure Tony Popovic’s first return to Wanderland was a triumphant one. However Elrich gave a long-suffering crowd of 7,181 reason to cheer when he struck home from long-range in the 94th minute on Sunday.
The draw not only extends the Wanderers’ unbeaten run to three, but ends the Glory’s…
Perth Glory extend their unbeaten run to 10 games as they increase their lead at the top of the A-League.
The Western Sydney Wanderers claim back-to-back wins for first time since February 2018.
Central Coast Mariners found themselves the leaders at halftime but couldn’t keep it as Sydney hit back in the second half.
The Newcastle Jets scored two fantastic second half goals to zoom away from Melbourne City.
Wellington Phoenix scored first against the run of play before a Keisuke Honda penalty meant the two sides would share the points.
Perth Glory defender Matthew Spiranovic will barely recognise a face when he returns to his former stomping ground in Sunday’s clash with Western Sydney.
Spiranovic played with the Wanderers for two seasons between 2013-15, helping the club win the AFC Champions League in 2014.
But almost the entire Western Sydney squad has changed since Spiranovic departed, with only a sprinkling of familiar faces left.
Wanderers captain Brendan Hamill is one of the few players who have remained.

Perth Glory are on the same path as some of the A-League’s greatest teams, with the competition’s season points haul record still a possibility.
Tony Popovic’s men moved nine points clear on the competition ladder over the weekend with a 4-0 thrashing of Brisbane lifting them to 46 points from 19 matches.
If the Glory maintain that ratio for the remaining eight games of the season they are on track to finish on 65 points.
Since the A-League began in 2005, only three teams have eclipsed 60 or more…

Sydney FC celebrate after winning the W-League title.
American forward Savannah McCaskill inspired Sydney FC to the W-League title, scoring twice in a pulsating 4-2 Grand Final win over Perth Glory.
McCaskill gave the Sky Blues a half-time lead on Saturday after Sam Kerr’s penalty had cancelled out Sofia Huerta’s long-range opener.
She made it a two-goal cushion midway through the second half at Jubilee Oval before Glory defender Alyssa Mautz pulled one back in the 68th minute.

Perth started hot favourites in both matches and are aiming to break their title drought in Saturday’s Grand Final against Sydney FC at Jubilee Stadium.

Perth Glory goalkeeper Liam Reddy is adamant Diego Castro is the A-League’s greatest ever player, saying the Spaniard’s prolonged brilliance means he eclipses Alessandro Del Piero.
Castro has been in the hottest of form in recent weeks, helping the Glory build a seven-point lead at the top of the ladder.
Italian star Del Piero scored 24 goals in 48 games for Sydney FC, while Thomas Broich, Milos Ninkovic, Besart Berisha, and Bruno Fornaroli are other foreigners who have lit up the league.
