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."
The Phoenix are the A-League's only perfect team, the Jets are searching for answers, and Victory's Valadon scores a stunner -- all that and more in ESPN's Stocks Up, Stocks Down.
Unbundling from Football Australia was supposed to herald a new dawn for soccer Down Under. Instead, an ESPN investigation asks: are the A-Leagues at risk of collapse?
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.
