Adelaide United emerge victorious against A-League leaders Perth Glory

Adelaide United beat A-League leaders Perth Glory 2-1 thanks to goals from Nebojsa Marinkovic and James Jeggo.

Goals from Nebojsa Marinkovic and James Jeggo have given Adelaide United a 2-1 victory away at A-League leaders Perth Glory this morning.

Perth took the lead in the 11th minute when Andy Keogh cut inside the penalty area and laid the ball off for Marinkovic, who fired it beyond Paul Izzo.

Perth continued to look the better side in the opening half, and Keogh came close to doubling their lead when his chip from distance narrowly missed the goal with Izzo off his line.

However, the hosts gifted Adelaide an equaliser on the half-hour mark. Perth defender Richard Garcia gave the ball to Craig Goodwin, who slotted the ball past Danny Vukovic to make it 1-1.

Jeggo then broke through the Perth defence, before Vukovic kept out his effort at the second attempt.

Adelaide took the lead three minutes into the second half through Jeggo, who fired beyond Vukovic after being found by Bruce Djite's cut-back.

Perth had the opportunity to level the scores soon after, but Sidnei blasted an effort wide after being picked out by Keogh.

Keogh then whipped a dangerous cross to Garcia, but he headed the ball into Izzo's arms.

Perth pushed for an equaliser as the clock ran down, but Adelaide held on for the victory which moves them up to third in the A-League table.
