Central Coast Mariners fight back to beat Adelaide United

By Sam McEvoy, Reporter | 07 February 2015

Central Coast Mariners come back from a goal down to beat Adelaide United 2-1 at the Central Coast Stadium.

Central Coast Mariners fought back from being a goal down to beat second place Adelaide United 2-1.

Nick Fitzgerald scored his first goal for the Mariners in eight months, after the midfielder converted the rebound from his missed penalty attempt.

Left-back Joshua Rose also scored his first goal for the home side in the last 10 minutes to secure all three points.

Awer Mabil broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark, after spinning in the box and then getting a deflection to take it past Central Coast's Liam Reddy.

The loss represents the fifth this season for the Reds, who led for the majority of the match.

The win is only Mariners' third of the season and keeps them in eighth.
