Marco Rojas has been a revelation on his return to Melbourne Victory, but did you know he has been involved in more goals per home game this season than any other Hyundai A-League player?
The “Kiwi Messi” has scored 10 goals and provided eight assists in 11 home matches, for an average of 1.6 goals per home game.
No-one else manages more than one per home game.
