Melbourne Victory have had little cause to celebrate over the course of the season but now have two wins on either side of a 7-0 defeat which cost Grant Brebner his job. Interim boss Steve Kean got the three points in his first match in charge, in an exhilarating 5-4 win over the Western Sydney Wanderers. Victory have been ruled out from the race to finish in the top four, with the club rooted at second from bottom in the A-League points table. Kean will hope that his side can muster a few wins and end the season on a positive note.
