Melbourne Victory win glosses over poor performance against Perth Glory

The travelling side secured all three points but the result certainly didn't match the performance

Perth Glory played their first game at home for one and a half months as they invited title contenders Melbourne Victory to a sold-out HBF Park, but the hosts couldn’t give their team anything to cheer about on the night as they fell to the reigning champions 2-0.

It was a classic smash-and-grab win for Kevin Muscat’s team with Victory spending long spells of possession camped out in their box. Glory will be disappointed, but they are still far ahead of the pack with the season coming to an end in a few weeks’ time.
