    Five-star Melbourne City crush Perth Glory


    An Aaron Mooy masterclass led Melbourne City to a 5-1 win over a hapless Perth Glory side at AAMI Park on Friday.
    City moved into fifth in the A-League thanks to goals from Erik Paartalu, Connor Chapman, Bruno Fornaroli, Harry Novillo and Mooy.

    Mooy was the clear match-winner, however, with the Socceroos midfielder playing a role in all but one of the home side's scoring moves.

    In front of a paltry crowd of 5,953 in Melbourne - the lowest attendance of the season - Glory's winless run stretched to five matches, while Perth had Aryn Williams sent off in the 82nd minute.
    GOALS
    1-0 Paartalu (6') - Mooy's free-kick picked out the defensive midfielder at the back post and Paartalu's header deflected off Antony Golec's knee and into the net.

    2-0 Chapman (19') - Mooy made Marc Warren and Diego Castro look silly on the right and then chipped a pass for Chapman. The defender nodded home his maiden A-League goal.

    3-0 Fornaroli (35') - Another Mooy special from his own half released Corey Gameiro down the right and the young winger had the presence of mind to cut back for Fornaroli at the top of the box. The Uruguayan striker slotted his sixth goal of the season with aplomb.

    3-1 Sidnei (45+1') - Nebojsa Marinkovic's corner-kick picked out the Brazilian's darting run to the near post and Sidnei's header flew into the net. 

    4-1 Novillo (53') - A corner came out to Novillo on the edge of the box and the former Lyon youth player showed supreme technique to rifle his shot past Ante Covic first time.

    5-1 Mooy (82') - Mooy fed Stefan Mauk in the box and the latter was dragged back by Williams, earning the Glory defender a second yellow card. Mooy then converted the penalty.
