By Jack Prescott, Rugby Editor | 14 March 2015

Two goals from Roy Krishna send Wellington Glory to the top of the A-League table as they beat rivals Perth Glory 2-1 at the NIB Stadium.

Wellington Phoenix have moved to the top of the A-League table with a 2-1 win at rivals Perth Glory.

The visitors took the lead in fortuitous circumstances on 23 minutes when Joshua Risdon's clearance was charged down by Roy Krishna before the ball ended up in the net.

However, Perth got themselves level just six minutes later as Ruben Zadkovich fired in from the edge of the box with a ferocious drive that went in off the woodwork.

Both sides showed plenty of attacking intent during a high-tempo second half, but it was the Nix who got the decisive goal 12 minutes from time as Krishna beat Danny Vukovic at his near post following a swift counter-attack.
