A dramatic 94th-minute goal from defender Bart Schenkeveld has helped Melbourne City edge Western Sydney Wanderers 4-3 in a pulsating A-League match at AAMI Park last night.
City recovered from a 3-2 second-half deficit to snatch the all-important three points to remain on course for a finals berth.
Win an all-expenses-paid trip for 2 to SuperBowl 53 in Atlanta, thanks to Red Energy.
100% the bucket list event of the year!
A red card to Wanderers youngster Keanu Baccus altered the complexion of the game with marquee man Ritchie De Laet equalising for the home side – his second goal of the evening – before Schenkeveld’s header sealed a famous win for Warren Joyce’s men.
The come-from-behind victory ensures City will finish the round in fourth position while the finals hopes for the struggling Wanderers are almost certainly over.
