Popovic targets Grand Final after Perth crowned Premiers

Perth Glory head coach Tony Popovic set his sights on reaching the Grand Final after seeing his side secure the A-League Premiers Plate.

Ivan Franjic scored after 65 minutes at HBF Park to earn Glory a 1-0 win over Newcastle Jets that saw the club win its first piece of silverware in 15 years, and Popovic reflected on an emotional moment while calling for his players to go one better.

Popovic took Western Sydney Wanderers to a Grand Final on three occasions but failed to win any of them, and his determination to put that record right with Glory was evident after they were crowned Premiers.
