VPL: Penalties pay off for the Thunder

TWICE Nate Foster was brought down, twice Luke Sherbon kicked home the resulting penalty as Dandenong Thunder continued their winning start to the 2012 Victorian Premier League season.

Sherbon scored penalties in the seventh and 75th minutes as the Thunder beat Melbourne Knights 2-0 at George Andrews Reserve on Saturday.

The Thunder have now won three games straight to start the season and have yet to conceede a goal behind a sturdy defence and the keeping of veteran custodian Stuart Webster.

The Thunder will look to continue their winning run when they visit newly promoted Moreland Zebras at Epping Stadium this Sunday afternoon at 3pm.
