The latest: Natasha Dowie’s double fired Melbourne Victory to the top of the ladder with a 2-1 win over Perth Glory. Dowie also went level with Sam Kerr and Veronica Latkso for the league goal-scoring lead with eight. Kerr assisted on Rachel Hill’s goal for Perth who took their first loss of the season and fell from first to fourth. Week 9 concludes with a New Year’s Day match between Western City Wanderers and Melbourne City FC. Stay tuned after that for Tim Grainey’s week in review.
