The Vikings outstanding start to the season continued with the team never in doubt of recording a big away win, despite a host of forced changes prior to the contest.

Tuany's first goal came just four minutes into the contest, and even though it took him more than an hour to score again, the Vikings always looked in control.

A third goal in the 75^th minute was just reward for a brilliant display from the top-of-the-ladder team which sits two points clear of second and importantly five points ahead of third.

"We were pleased because we made four changes," coach Corey Smith said. "I thought 3-1 really flattered them in the match, I think we were as dominant as we'd been all season, even though we've had some bigger results.

"I think we set up in a way that we were always going to be able to compete, but we got a goal early and that did change the game for us and allowed us to play how we wanted."

"Fawkner is traditionally good, they are well coached and organised and they are a dangerous team. It's our best result so far."

The changes to the firsts meant there was plenty of players out of position in the reserves team, but it also managed to score a win 2-1 maintaining the clubs' seniors eight from eight record so far this season.
