Those three points felt good as this side had gone three league fixtures without winning.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Brisbane Roar that ended 1-1.

Low-scoring game? 8 of this side's latest 10 league rounds have contained two goals or less.

The attacking power of Wanderers when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 5 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Western Sydney Wanderers as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
