Sydney FC coach Ufuk Talay believes the clean sheet his side secured in their 3-0 win over rivals Melbourne Victory will imbue them with important momentum as they look to get their A-League Men campaign back on track.
A first-half brace from Joe Lolley, sandwiched around a controversial red card to Victory attacker Zinedine Machach, put the Sky Blues on course to secure victory in the 65th iteration of the Big Blue on Saturday night, with the contest at Allianz Stadium then sealed by Jaiden Kucharski's 86th-minute dagger.
