Soccer: Perth peg back Adelaide

Perth Glory staged a stunning fightback to score three goals in the final half hour to overwhelm Adelaide United 3-2 in their A-League clash at Hindmarsh Stadium.

United unravelled defensively after stopper Iain Fyfe was red carded in the 61st minute for impeding Socceroo striker Mile Sterjovski, Perth captain Jacob Burns inspiring the comeback with a double before loan striker Daniel McBreen sealed the deal in the 77th minute.

The win leaves the Glory in a good position to claim a finals spot.

Burns led the charge as Perth claimed only their second win in eight games, driving home the free kicked earned from Fyfe's foul into the top corner after 62 minutes, his first A-League goal.

He then grabbed the equaliser in the 69th minute with a kick just inside the penalty area before former Adelaide player McBreen silenced the home crowd.

Adelaide's collapse spelt the end of their finals hopes and kept them rooted to the bottom of the league with a 10th loss this season.
