A-League Men News
Western Sydney Wanderers chair Paul Lederer has hit out at what he has said is "totally unacceptable" policing of his club's supporters, labelling it excessive and declaring that "enough is enough."

Jordi Valadon levels the scores for 10-men Melbourne, firing home an absolute ROCKET from outside the box.
Talay's Wanderers dazzled, Melbourne's heavyweights misfired and an unexpected contender is already shaking up the A-League table.
