Jason Cummings produces sensational performance to fire Central Coast Mariners to A-League Grand Final glory
JASON CUMMINGS smashed a stunning hat-trick as Central Coast Mariners won the A-League grand final 6-1 against Melbourne City.
The former Hibs and Rangers striker was the hero in Paramatta as the Mariners won just the second title in their history - and a first for a decade.
Melbourne City had finished 11 points clear in the regular season but couldn’t cope with Cummings, who is now moving to Indian side Mohun Bagan.
He opened the scoring then added two penalties in the second half to become only the second man to score a hat-trick in the grand final.
He beamed: “Last dance man, I don’t know what happened.
“We have just beaten the champions who caked the league. We have won 6-1 - what a journey.
