SYDNEY coach Frank Farina said his side got what it deserved after it "out-muscled" and "out-played" Melbourne Heart in a 2-0 win at AAMI Park on Friday night.
A 27th-minute penalty to Alessandro Del Piero and a Joel Chianese tap in just before half time was enough to consign the bottom-of-the-table Heart to a fourth loss in a row, heaping more pressure on to coach John Aloisi.
Sydney has had struggles of its own to start the season but coach Frank Farina said last night he felt his side's season was starting to turn the corner after consecutive wins.
"The momentum in terms of effort and commitment has been there for the last three games and I thought tonight, particularly in the first half, was very good," Farina said.
"We out-muscled them, we out-played them and that's why we deservedly came in 2-0 up."
The win snapped an 11-game losing streak on the road for Farina's men, a point not lost on the coach after the game.
But Farina also the pressure remained on his club to perform.
"Sydney's a huge city, it's a huge club in terms of expectations and demands and pressure is always there, irrespective of if you win two games in a row, we're expected and demanded to go out and win next week, that's the reality of this job, this club," he said.
"But inside the team you can be rest assured that there's a real belief. We've got some great winners in there, some great leaders and it's always been a good vibe, but it's all about results ... that goes with the position we're in in that city, we're expected to do well.
"As long as we understand that, I certainly do and I bore that home with the players that they've got to understand what it means to pull on that blue shirt, there's pressure every week.
"Two wins is great, but we've got to get that consistency and maintain it."
In further good news for the Sky Blues, the club's injury woes continue to improve while defender Marc Warren will be available to return for next week's home clash with Wellington Phoenix.
"We've got the long-termers, the young ones, that won't be back for a while _ the likes of (Peter) Triantis (groin), (Terry) Antonis (thigh) and Rhyan Grant (knee) now," Farina said.
"But everyone else (is looking good). Matty Thompson tonight was precautionary, he was a bit tight from last week after he put in a herculean effort in that game, so he'll be available next week and pretty much that's it.
"(Gameiro) has started running, but mostly straight line stuff so he's still got a couple of boxes to tick yet."
