Brisbane Roar ease to win as Western Sydney Wanderers leave it late

Brisbane Roar moved level on points with A-League leaders Western Sydney Wanderers after a 4-0 win over Central Coast Mariners.

Jade North opened the scoring for the Roar with a brave header before Jamie MacLaren doubled their lead before half-time.

Corona made it 3-0 on 59 minutes with a fine strike from outside the box and then Henrique completed the scoring from the penalty spot against Mariners, who had Harry Ascroft sent off.

The Roar now have the same number of points as table-toppers Western Sydney Wanderers, who salvaged a late 1-1 draw at Melbourne Victory.

Victory went in front through Besart Berisha in the 16th minute, heading in from Kosta Barbarouses' corner.

But with a minute left of normal time, substitute Brendon Santalab thumped into the top corner, before Wanderers' Alberto Aguilar was sent off in the final moments.
