Melbourne Victory coach Arthur Diles believes his players are getting closer to the "best version of themselves" after two assists from Spanish superstar Juan Mata highlighted a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Perth Glory.
After Louis D'Arrigo cancelled out Trent Ostler's opener on the stroke of halftime at Melbourne's AAMI Park, Mata somehow dropped a deep corner on to an unmarked Nishan Velupillay for the go-ahead volley in the 53rd minute, before setting up Santos for a crucial third in the 69th.
