Melbourne City 5 Adelaide United 0: Budzinksi & Vidosic braces inspire emphatic win

Marcin Budzinski and Dario Vidosic both scored twice to help secure a 5-0 A-League hammering of Adelaide United, moving Melbourne City up to third, but a serious injury to Nathan Atkinson provided put a dampener on things.

Teenager Atkinson was taken off on a stretcher deep into the second half after landing awkwardly on his ankle, with several team-mates and opponents looking visibly distressed as he required oxygen.

Vidosic's brilliant double soon followed, producing a stunning volley from the right side of the penalty area and then stroking a well-placed 20-yard finish into the bottom-right corner.

Substitute Ross McCormack wrapped things up late on with a brilliant 30-yard strike, as City moved above local rivals Melbourne Victory.
