A Chris Ikonomidis thunderbolt in the 31st minute put Perth ahead in Wednesday night s clash, but a Glory own goal and Maclaren s strikes either side of half-time sent City on their way.
The result extends City s lead at the top of the ladder to six points, and they have a game in hand on second-placed Central Coast and third-placed Sydney.
Glory are now 10 points adrift of sixth spot and face a huge battle to make the finals.
Maclaren spent the first two seasons of his A-League career at Glory but he left after being starved of starting opportunities.
Jamie Maclaren made Australian football history in Matchweek 19, becoming the quickest player to 100 league goals in the history of the country's national leagues.
But it was his 101st goal - scored against Perth Glory on Wednesday night - that John Kosmina picked out as the best goal of Matchweek 19.
Maclaren combined with Marco Tilio and Scott Galloway to help create the move, proceeding to finish the opportunity which put City 3-1 ahead - the final score on the night.
Western United goalkeeper Ryan Scott has earned Save of Matchweek 19 honours from John Kosmina, for a save down low to his right to keep Brisbane Roar defender Macaulay Gillesphey off the scoresheet.
It was just one of many top-drawer saves Scott produced before conceding two late goals against the Roar at Moreton Daily Stadium.
