Melbourne Victory 4 Perth Glory 1: Berisha keeps hosts in title race

Besart Berisha scored one and created another to help Melbourne Victory beat Perth Glory and keep the A-League Premiers' Plate race alive.

Melbourne Victory kept Sydney FC's A-League celebrations on hold as they ended their dismal run against Perth Glory with a 4-1 win on Saturday.

Sydney's win over Central Coast Mariners on Friday put them on verge of being crowned premiers, the Sky Blues needing Perth to deny Victory maximum points at AAMI Park.

The hosts had not tasted success against Glory in their past eight league meetings and things started badly as they conceded after just five minutes, Diego Castro handing the away side an early lead.
