Sydney F.C. celebrate Holosko's goal

A record breaking crowd of 61,880 witnessed a dominant Sydney F.C. display, taking down the Western Sydney Wanderers in an emphatic 4-0 win.
It is the largest victory in the history of the derby, with the hapless Wanderers closing in on 3 years since they last held bragging rights over the Sky Blues.
The marquee signing of Brazilian striker Bobo appears an astute one, with the former Besiktas and Kayserispor striker notching up both a goal and an assist in his league debut.
The Western Sydney defence seemed a shell of recent years. Pre-season departures of Alberto, Jamieson and Andreu have left the club with few options. Topor-Stanley's absence was felt dearly, as the mounting pressure of going two goals down in only two minutes left the Wanderers catatonic and stagnant.
Vukovic's perfomance in goal summarised a clinical second half for Sydney, with his brilliant save against Nichols proving key in maintaining a controlling lead.
Borda's dismissal in the 82nd minute proved to be the final nail in the coffin for the Wanderers, with O'Neill and Brosque placing the result beyond all doubt with two well executed goals.
The result positions Sydney in a promising position for the year ahead, though only time will tell if tonight's performance is a lone display of brilliance or truly indicative of their premiership challenge.
