The Perth Glory moved level on points with A-League leaders Melbourne Victory after a 2-0 win over the Jets in Newcastle. 

A second-half strike from Andy Keogh and an excellent inside-out finish from Nebojsa Marinkovic late on sealed the three points for the Glory, who have had to put headlines about a serious, alleged breach of the A-League salary cap to one side.

The win, however, could amount to nothing for Perth, who have until Wednesday to reply to the alleged breaches.

FFA alleges the Glory have failed to report payments and benefits to multiple players, leading to a significant breach of the $2.55 million cap in 2015.

If the allegations are true the mooted punishment is the loss of competition points.

While Perth have hit trouble off the pitch, the Jets’ woeful season dived to a new low with a Hunter Stadium A-League record worst crowd of 4,162.

Fans also vented their frustration with coach Phil Stubbins, holding up a banner which read ‘Enough failure lies and arrogance 10,000 fans demand the muppet gone’ at the start of the second half.
