Alex Brosque netted a sublime hat-trick — his first in the A-League — as Sydney FC came from behind to win an enthralling match 5-2 against a 10-man Central Coast Mariners side.
Four goals in 16 minutes turned the match on its head as Sydney recorded their fourth win on the trot, a result that sends them to the top of the A-League table, while the misery continues for the Mariners.
The Sky Blues went into the break a goal down after Connor Pain’s first half strike stunned the home side, but the writing was on the wall for the Mariners when Kalifa Cisse got his marching orders in the 26th minute.
