Melbourne Victory’s off-field woes laid bare after record derby defeat against Melbourne City
There is little in sport worse than losing to your biggest rivals, however there is nothing more catastrophic than being thumped by them.
Melbourne City’s 6-0 demolition of Melbourne Victory on Saturday night marked a new low for the A-League’s biggest club.
“It’s hard to see anything positive for Melbourne Victory at the moment,” former Victory legend Archie Thompson opined on Fox Sports’ commentary as Connor Metcalf stroked home City’s fifth.
The stats paint a similar picture.
Victory has just seven points from its first 10 games — its worst-ever return at the start of an A-League season.
And Saturday night was just the third time the club had ever shipped six goals in a single game and the first time it had ever done so in a derby.
