    Melbourne Victory break Hunter hoodoo with Newcastle Jets win


    Melbourne Victory have snapped their five-game winless streak – and ended their Hunter Stadium hoodoo – after edging out Newcastle Jets 1-0 on Sunday. 
    A turgid affair was settled by Fahid Ben Khalfallah’s first goal of the season after an excellent counter-attack, set-up by a great run and pass by Kosta Barbarouses.
    It was Victory’s first win in Newcastle in more than six years and puts them just a point behind both Melbourne City and Sydney FC who are third and fourth respectively.
    But the Jets winless run has now extended to nine matches as they remain eighth.  
    GOALS
    0-1 Ben Khalfallah (71’) – A swift counter attack from the visitors ended with Barbarouses playing a superb pass through to the Tunisian who finished clinically with his left foot from just inside the box.

    TEAMS:
    Newcastle Jets: Birighitti (gk), Hoffman, Boogaard (c), Mullen, Cowburn, Poljak, Watson, Kantarovski, Alivodic, Kitto (Crowley 66’), Trifunovic (Pavicevic 78’)
    Melbourne Victory: Vukovic (gk), Geria, Deng, Delpierre, Georgievski, Broxham (c), Bozanic, Barbarouses, Ben Khalfallah (Mahazi 78’), Thompson (Pain 67’), Berisha (Makarounas 90’)
