The Wanderers striker announced his return to Australian football in fine fashion, while Roly Bonevacia and Michael Boxall shone for Wellington Phoenix in Melbourne

Goalkeeper - Vedran Janjetovic (Sydney FC)

Despite conceding three goals in the thrilling 4-3 derby win over Western Sydney., there wasn't a lot the Sydney FC gloveman could do for any of them.

But when called upon – especially in the last 10 minutes – Janjetovic pulled off a couple of sensational stops to keep hold of all three points for the visitors.

Defence - Michael Boxall (Wellington Phoenix), Safuwan Baharudin (Melbourne City), Zach Anderson (Central Coast Mariners), Lee Ki-Je (Newcastle Jets)

Boxall enjoyed a rare moment in the spotlight on Sunday, scoring one and making another as Wellington defeated Victory in Melbourne for the first time.

Safuwan started at right wingback and moved to left-back for Melbourne City on Friday, scoring in their 3-1 comeback win over Adelaide United. With both fullback berths taken we've gone for him at centre-back, which is the position he was primarily signed to play but is yet to appear in for John van 't Schip's side.

Anderson has been in and out of the Mariners defence this season but he could well hold onto that spot for the rest of the campaign with an assured performance in the 0-0 F3 Derby draw against the Jets.

Lee was shifted to left-back for the clash at Hunter Stadium in a bid to keep Mariners dangerman Fabio Ferreira quiet. And he did a superb job, rarely giving the Portuguese forward any space or time on the ball. On the odd occasion the winger did get free he was quick to recover and snuff out any danger.

Midfield - Roly Bonevacia (Wellington Phoenix), Thomas Broich (Brisbane Roar), Daniel De Silva (Perth Glory)

We've all been impressed by Bonevacia since his arrival in the A-League and the Dutchman took it to another level on Sunday, scoring a stunning goal and setting up Boxall's header, both from set-pieces. His work-rate and decision-making in possession was a big part of the Phoenix's landmark win.

Two-time Johnny Warren Medal winner Broich was at his exquisite best in the 2-2 draw against Glory, the dominant performance showing how vital the German playmaker will be to Brisbane's chances of sneaking into the finals.

In the same match De Silva had arguably the best game of his short but promising A-League career. He scored the opening goal from being in the right place at the right time, but was also in all the right areas elsewhere to help his side when they needed it.

Attack - Kosta Barbarouses (Melbourne Victory), Marc Janko (Sydney FC), Kerem Bulut (Western Sydney)

Barbarouses terrorised Wellington in the first 60 minutes at AAMI Park, with a hand in several promising attacks and scoring the Victory's second.

Janko caused the Wanderers defence all types of problems, scoring two, playing a part in Ante Covic's own-goal gaffe and he could have had a couple more as well, making the difference between the two sides.

And what a debut it was for ex-Sydney FC striker Bulut, who has had a tough couple of years on and off the field but will be a handy acquisition for the Wanderers.

The 23-year-old a simple tap-in for his first goal but his second demonstrated his real quality, with great movement and a powerful, unerring finish into the bottom corner.
