Jets soar over star-studded Victory, Glory all Perth's

8:27 am on 4 December 2011

Newcastle Jets rewarded their biggest home A-League crowd in four seasons with a 3-1 win over a star-studded Melbourne Victory on Saturday night.

As 17,245 fans turned up to see star Victory recruit Harry Kewell's first appearance in the city, the Jets came from behind to snap a six-game unbeaten run for the Victory.

Gold Coast United had nobody but themselves to blame for a fifth straight defeat.

Two needless penalties cost Gold Coast in Perth Glory's 2-0 home victory at nib Stadium - United remain bottom of the A-League table with just five points from nine games.
