Unbelievable!!
TWO goals in THREE minutes?
Western United come from 2-1 down and score TWO stoppage time goals to win 3-2 over a devastated Perth Glory - and it's Jordan Lauton's outrageous bicycle kick that steals the headlines.
A fourth straight win in the most incredible circumstances
Unreal.

As a postscript, the hero of the moment, Jordan Lauton, was red carded for taking his shirt off after he scored the winning goal - but no one cared!
