A-League Review: Cahill goal not enough for Melbourne City

An injury-time own goal from Neil Kilkenny saw Melbourne City held to a 1-1 draw away to Western Sydney Wanderers in Friday's A-League clash.

Former Everton star Tim Cahill converted at the far post to put the visitors ahead early in the second half at Spotless Stadium.

But Jack Clisby's cross was bundled into his own net by Kilkenny - while under pressure from Lachlan Scott - with only moments remaining, ensuring that the spoils were shared.

The visitors took the lead on 22 minutes when Josh Risdon turned Tarek Elrich's cross into his own net, but Glory were level three minutes later thanks to Rostyn Griffiths' low finish.

Andy Keogh turned in from a set-piece midway through the second half, and after Jordan O'Doherty had picked up a second yellow card, Keogh made sure of the points by finishing a counter-attack deep into stoppage time to compound the visitors' misery.
