Western Sydney Wanderers won their fifth A-League game in a row as they beat Central Coast Mariners 2-0 on Sunday.
Brendon Santalab opened the scoring in the 66th minute thanks to Mitch Nichols' through ball.
Nichols then got on the scoresheet to make the points safe in second-half injury time after he latched on to Joshua Sotirio's pass.
The result leaves Western Sydney Wanderers level on points with leaders Melbourne Victory, who have a game in hand and a better goal difference.
Central Coast Mariners are eighth in the 10-team division, with just one win to their name so far this season.
