FORMER Sydney FC prodigy Dimitri Petratos netted a hat-trick against his old club as Brisbane Roar returned to winning form with a 5-2 thrashing of the outclassed Sky Blues at Allianz Stadium.
One of three fresh faces brought into the Roar starting line-up after last Friday's 2-0 loss to Newcastle, 21-year-old Petratos made the most of his opportunity in just his third start for Brisbane since joining the club in the off-season after a short stint with Malaysian club Kelantan.

Brisbane's ninth win of the season extended their advantage at the top of the A-League ladder to five points from closest rivals Western Sydney Wanderers, who play on Saturday night against Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park.

And despite trailing early, the changes worked wonders as Brisbane hit back with a vengeance to thrash the Sky Blues for the second time this season after a 4-0 round two win at Suncorp Stadium.
It was none other than Italian superstar Alessandro Del Piero who put Sydney in front in just the 11th minute after earning a free-kick on the edge of the penalty area from a Jade North foul.
Back in the side after missing Sydney's 1-0 loss to Wellington last Sunday due to a back problem, Del Piero bent the free-kick around the Brisbane wall.

Roar goalkeeper Michael Theo should have the shot covered, but was slow across his line and could only push the ball into the net.
That was Sydney's only joy of the first half, with the Roar taking total control soon after.
Brisbane equalised in the 19th minute through Thomas Broich, who was found with a brilliant through ball from Luke Brattan.
In an onside position thanks to a hobbling Del Piero, Broich kept his composure to score his second goal of the season.

Four minutes later the visitors were in front after being awarded a penalty following a foul from Sebastian Ryall on Henrique.
Petratos stepped up to the spot and defied the pressure of being asked to retake the penalty by referee Ben Williams to give Brisbane the lead.
The Roar extended their lead in the 35th minute, bamboozling a shell-shocked and static Sydney with a superb passage of one-touch football involving Matt McKay, Brattan, Broich and Petratos, who finished with venom to score his second of the night.

Del Piero did not reappear after half-time, succumbing to his lingering back problems.
Brisbane had a stack of chances in the second half, with Petratos again scoring from the penalty spot and Ivan Franjic netting in the dying stages.
Sydney grabbed a stoppage time consolation goal from Richard Garcia after some sloppy work from Theo, but it was too little, too late in front of a frustrated crowd of 17,662.
