Typical brilliance

Dwight Yorke scores again in Australia

Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke scored his third goal of the new A-League season but it was not enough to save Sydney FC from defeat.

Yorke equalised in the 72nd minute against the Central Coast Mariners at Aussie Stadium but an injury-time goal by captain Noel Spencer gave the visitors a 3-2 win.

Yorke, who had been a substitute in Sydney FC's last A-League game, a 2-1 loss to the Newcastle Jets, found the back of the net when Ufuk Talay threaded a perfect through ball to his feet and he made no mistake.

The first half had begun well for the home side when Yorke produced a typical piece of wizardry in the 13th minute to enable Andrew Packer to open the scoring.

But Central Coast led 2-1 at half-time through a penalty by Stewart Petrie in the 18th minute and a powerful strike by Andre Gumprecht 10 minutes before the interval.

Yorke was sensational at times for Sydney FC and combined well with midfielders David Carney, Packer, Talay and former Northern Ireland Under-21 captain and QPR apprentice Terry McFlynn.
