A knee injury of the worst kind for Matthew Sutton
33 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Perth Glory lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Perth Glory taken apart
0‑3 to Auckland FC, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.
