Fred, in his first season with the Heart, and youngsters Mate Dugandzic and Aziz Behich - all former Melbourne Victory players - scored the goals in the space of 19 minutes in the second half of a well-deserved 3-0 win at AAMI Park on Saturday night.

Newcastle, which started the round in second place on the back of three home victories, have now lost all three of their matches on the road.
