A-League Review: Berisha makes history as Victory cruise

Besart Berisha became the top goalscorer in A-League history as Melbourne Victory cruised to a 4-2 home win over Newcastle Jets.

The former Albania international scored a penalty after 30 minutes to move on to 91 goals in the competition, giving him the outright record after he had previously shared it with ex-team-mate Archie Thompson.

Berisha then set up Marco Rojas to double Victory's lead four minutes later, the Kiwi netting his ninth goal of the season.

It was then Rojas' turn to be creator when he assisted Fahid Ben Khalfallah's goal on the hour, as Victory moved three in front.
