Al Hassan Toure hat-trick sees Sydney sink Central Coast Mariners 4-1.
Al Hassan Toure has stolen the show at Allianz Stadium, scoring a hat-trick to help Sydney FC secure an A-League Men’s win over strugglers Central Coast.
Al Hassan Toure scored a hat-trick as Sydney FC heaped further misery on a winless Central Coast with a 4-1 home thumping.
The one-cap Socceroo completed a first-half brace, before hitting the scoreboard again in the 50th minute.
Gabriel Popovic, son of national team coach Tony, came off the bench in the 83rd and scored two minutes later, before suffering a cut above the eyebrow from friendly fire in the ensuing celebrations.
But a foul in the box from defender Ben Garuccio on Mariners midfielder John-Kymani Gordon denied the hosts a clean sheet, with striker Oli Lavale converting the penalty one minute into added time.
Toure’s efforts at least helped last year’s grand finalists nab their second win of the season and leaves the Sky Blues (2-1-1) second ahead of the weekend’s games.
It was also the first time Sydney have put together back-to-back wins at Allianz Stadium since 2023/24.

Thierno Barry scored two and created the other as Everton made it three wins on the spin to beat Coventry 3-1 in David Moyes' record-equalling match as Blues manager.
The Toffees had to recover from Yann Gboho's 52nd-minute opener as Barry headed home Vitalii Mykolenko's cross four minutes later, before taking his goal tally to 10 for the season when he bundled in Tyrique George's centre just past the hour mark.
Three points – which lifted Everton into fifth place in the Premier League table ahead of this weekend's round of matches – were then secured against Frank Lampard's top-flight newcomers nine minutes from time when Barry slid in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to blast past Carl Rushworth.
That ensured the Blues went into the upcoming international break buoyant as Moyes tasted victory in his 592nd match in charge of the Club, levelling the previous record set by Harry Catterick.
