Alessandro Diamanti's brilliant strike in the 86th minute sealed a much-needed win for Western United as Sydney lost for the fourth time in six matches. Subscribe to Guardian Football ►
Coming on for Dylan Pierias in the 80th minute, the 39-year-old Italian put his name on the scoresheet in style just six minutes later with a left-footed strike from distance that caught Andrew Redmayne, the Sydney goalkeeper, off guard. It is Diamanti's second goal of the season and moved Western United up to eighth in the overall standings on 15 points, one ahead of Sydney.
