Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Matthew Sutton in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Perth Glory this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The manager’s verdict
“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Kevin Falcao kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Defensive actions: 15. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

No hiding place for Anthony Miller
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Anthony Miller, and the manager let it.
