Central Coast Mariners 2 Sydney FC 3: Sky Blues win thriller

Sydney FC extended their unbeaten run to start the A-League season to 14 matches with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Central Coast Mariners.

Brazilian striker Bobo scored a brace either side of half-time in Gosford on Sunday to put Sydney in a seemingly comfortable 2-0 lead, only for the Mariners to fight back through Roy O'Donovan and Scott Galloway.

Fabio Ferreira also missed a penalty for the home side between those goals and that ultimately proved costly as David Carney headed home Sydney's winner - which appeared to be offside - in the 77th minute.

With their win, Sydney are seven-points clear of Melbourne Victory atop the table, while the Mariners remain second-bottom.
