Brisbane Roar's Jamie Maclaren deserves more credit

The Australian striker made history in last week's elimination final win over Western Sydney Wanderers but few have seemingly noticed

Brisbane Roar striker Jamie Maclaren has made Australian football history this season by reaching the 20-goal mark in the A-League but his impressive form doesn't seem to get enough credit.

When Maclaren tapped home Roar's equaliser against Western Sydney Wanderers last week, the 23-year-old became the first player to score 20 or more goals in successive Australian national league seasons.

But that significant achievement was seemingly overlooked as Brisbane defeated the Wanderers in a penalty shootout.
