Newcastle Jets•MidfielderClayton Taylor's hat-trick proved the difference as Newcastle Jets edged a thrilling five-goal encounter at Adelaide United. The striker gave the visitors a commanding 2-0 lead by the break with goals in the 45th and 51st minutes, but Adelaide's response was swift with Juan Muñiz and Yaya Dukuly finding the net within 11 minutes of the second half to level proceedings. However, Taylor's clinical finishing shone through once more as he completed his treble on 72 minutes, securing all three points despite Adelaide's spirited fightback. The result lifts Newcastle's momentum in what appears to be a crucial phase of the season, while Adelaide will rue their inability to maintain their comeback after showing tremendous character to recover from two goals down.
