Melbourne City form and stats

A huge disappointment for Melbourne City in their last match (vs Brisbane Roar). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all points were lost in a 3-4 defeat. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Melbourne City, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Imagine losing a game despite one player scoring 3 goals? That's the story of Jamie MacLaren in the match against Brisbane Roar.
