Josh, Nick & Ivka dive into Preston's unlikely smash-and-grab victory away to Oakleigh - a match the Cannons dominated until the last 15 minutes. What went so wrong for the Lions, and how on earth did they turn it around?

Meanwhile, Green Gully push Heidelberg to the brink with an acrobatic disallowed goal from Bilal Habib in stoppage time, while South Melbourne recover from their Oceania travails to deny Avondale at Avenger Park.

And after he masterminded a 3-1 upset win away to Hume City, we ponder whether Altona Magic coach Goran Lozanovski is the Claudio Ranieri of the NPL!
