A-League Wrap: Kewell's Melbourne Heart held

David Williams' fourth league goal of the campaign handed the visitors the lead but Aaron Mooy drew Wanderers level before half-time in Saturday's game.

Kewell, who had been out since the opening day with a neck injury, came off the bench for the final 18 minutes but Heart were denied a triumph that would have lifted them off the foot of the table.

There was an air of fortune about Williams' opener, which came after 38 minutes when his cross deceived goalkeeper Ante Covic and found the top corner.

Wanderers dominated the second half but efforts from Youssouf Hersi, Labinot Haliti, Mooy and Matthew Spiranovic all failed to breach Andrew Redmayne's goal.

Daniel McBreen's goal earned Central Coast a 1-0 triumph over Sydney FC.
