A late Wellington equaliser and three red cards to Central Coast - including coach Nick Montgomery - have added to the recent run of Mariners hiccups, as they were held to a 1-1 A-League Men's draw by Wellington in Gosford.
A clever stoppage-time finish from Polish striker Oskar Zawada earned Wellington a point on Friday, but even Phoenix coach Ufuk Talay admitted the home team were the better side from the time they took the lead through a 12th minute James McGarry goal.
