United claim eight-goal thriller as Wanderers’ finals hopes come to an end – The World Game
Western United have taken a big step towards securing a maiden A-League finals berth while knocking Western Sydney out of contention with a thrilling 5-3 win at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium.
United stretched out to a 3-0 lead through Josh Risdon, Besart Berisha and Alessandro Diamanti, before Western Sydney pegged it back to 3-3 through Mitch Duke’s brace and Tass Mourdoukoutas.
But late goals to Max Burgess and Diamanti put down Western Sydney’s late resistance and spared United’s blushes.
In teeming rain in Kogarah, United seized control in the seventh minute when Max Burgess whipped a left-footed cross into the six-yard box where an inexplicably unmarked Risdon headed home.
