Melbourne City overtake Sydney FC to claim A-League Women Premier's Plate after goals from Rhianna Pollicina and Shelby McMahonMelbourne City leapfrogged Sydney FC to the Premier's Plate after Sydney lost to Victory and City beat Perth Glory.
At Leichhardt Oval, Melbourne Victory spoiled Sydney's party with a stunning 4-0 result capped by a shocking blunder by goalkeeper Jada Whyman. Sydney FC, who started the week knowing wins over Canberra or Melbourne Victory would seal a fourth-straight premiership, instead blew both shots at silverware.
The result saved Victory's season. They started the day outside the top six but jumped to fourth on a log-jammed table. Third-placed Western will host Newcastle Jets, while Victory's prize for jumping to fourth is a home final against Central Coast.
