    A negative post-match review has led to a very positive result for the Wellington Phoenix

    A negative post-match review has led to a very positive result for the Wellington Phoenix


    After two big losses - conceding 11 goals and scoring none - Phoenix coach Ufuk Talay told his team it just wasn't good enough.

    And they got the message... beating title contenders Western United 4-1 away... with Josh Sotirio scoring a double.



    The win takes the Phoenix back into the playoff places.
