Share on Twitter Wednesday night's victory in Gosford enabled the hosts to retain their unlikely hold of top spot on the ladder. It was a rare win over City for the Mariners but it was the nature of the victory as much as the quality of the opponent that impressed. The Mariners rebounded from a 2-0 deficit on the half-hour mark to record a memorable win thanks to Danny De Silva's spectacular winner 10 minutes from full-time. It was the first time in 30 matches City had failed to win after holding a 2-0 lead. The win for the A-League wooden-spooners over last season's grand finalists follows a victory over A-League champions Sydney FC a fortnight ago.
