On this episode of the Aussie Game Podcast, we break down a massive week for Australian football at home and abroad.

Mohamed Toure makes the perfect start at Norwich City, scoring on debut to seal a 2–0 win over Blackburn Rovers, while fellow Aussie Lewis Miller remains locked in a Championship relegation battle.

Across Europe, Aussies are everywhere — from Ante Suto’s stoppage-time winner for Hibernian, to Jackson Irvine’s huge Bundesliga survival boost, and promotion pressure building in England and the Netherlands.

Back home, it was a blockbuster round of A-League Men action:

• Clayton Taylor fires the Newcastle Jets to the top with a sensational hat-trick against Adelaide United
• Melbourne Victory edge Wellington Phoenix in a fiery 3–2 contest
• Auckland FC reclaim top spot with a 1–0 thriller over Sydney FC
• Central Coast Mariners get redemption against Brisbane as Michael Valkanis sees red in Redcliffe
• Macarthur FC and Perth Glory play out a chaotic 2–2 draw
• Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne City settle for a frustrating stalemate

In the A-League Women, Wellington Phoenix surge to the top, Melbourne City storm back from 2–0 down, and Canberra United edge Sydney in a dramatic clash.

We also put the spotlight on this week’s Socceroos striker auditions, run through Aussies overseas, and finish with our Team of the Week.
