A-League Review: Adelaide leave it late, leaders Perth Glory cruise
Adelaide United and Perth Glory were victorious in the A-League on Sunday, downing Central Coast Mariners and Newcastle Jets, respectively.
Perth Glory cruised to a 2-0 home win over struggling Newcastle Jets to move four points clear at the A-League summit once again, while Adelaide United left it late in a 2-1 defeat of Central Coast Mariners.
The Jets rarely looked like they were going to cause Glory many problems on Sunday, with the writing seemingly on the wall early on.
Andy Keogh broke the deadlock for the hosts in the 16th minute, tapping in from close range after Diego Castro squared to him right in front of goalkeeper Glen Moss.
