Melbourne Victory kept their aspirations of a top four berth alive with an industrious 2-0 win over Western Sydney Wanderers at AAMI Park on Good Friday.

A brace from Oliver Bozanic either side of half-time settled the entertaining contest and ensure a valuable three points for the reigning champions.

Bozanic sent the home crowd into a frenzy after three minutes with a lightning strike from outside the box, as a result of some questionable keeping from WSW gloveman Liam Reddy.

Dimas tested his luck from range, in search of an equaliser and forced Lawrence Thomas into a smart save, tipping the ball away for a corner.

The second-choice goalkeeper was again called into action, as Thomas made a fabulous double save to deny both Mitch Nichols and Dario Vidosic golden opportunities to draw level.

Melbourne were fortunate not to be reduced to 10 men when defender Daniel Georgievski committed an impetuous studs up tackle on Nichols’ knee only to receive a caution.

After the interval, the Victory’s appeal for a penalty was correctly refuted by referee Strebre Delovski as the onrushing Reddy initially made contact with the ball, before collecting Besart Berisha.

Bozanic netted his second on the evening with an instinctive toe-poke finish, after the Wanderers failed to clear their lines.

The hosts survived an onslaught of WSW pressure in the latter stages of the clash, but held on to secure a crucial win in front of 20 097 spectators.

The result sees Victory temporarily move level with Perth on 37 points, while Western Sydney could surrender top spot and drop to fourth if results go against them.
