Post-game, Postecoglou said of Moore: He's been training well with us, we wanted to get him some game time, it just hasn't panned out in the last few games, it was an opportunity to just get him out there.

He's still got a long way to go, he's only 16, he's a great kid.

It's a reward, because we've had him training with us and he hasn't been playing with the U21s either, we thought it wouldn't be fair to not reward his hard work with an appearance."
