Jets v Mariners: key stats from Newcastle’s derby triumph

They left it late but Newcastle Jets did enough to get the points in a cracking F3 Derby at McDonald Jones Stadium against Central Coast Mariners on Tuesday night.

Here are key stats from the clash.

  • Newcastle Jets picked up their first F3 Derby win at home since October 2012, and snapped a six-game drawing streak against the Mariners at McDonald Jones Stadium.
  • Newcastle Jets continue their goal scoring form. They’ve now scored in 15 consecutive games, their longest streak in A-League history.
  • The Mariners have now conceded just six goals in their last five games away from home, however they’ve gone on to lose three times in that span now (W1, D1).
  • The Mariners made six shots on target without finding the back of the net, the last time they made more without scoring was in November 2014 against Perth Glory (7).
