Comeback ... Jeremy Brockie scores against the Melbourne Heart. Source: Ross Setford / AAP
Melbourne Heart's three-year A-League winless streak at Westpac Stadium continued when Wellington Phoenix fought back from a two-goal deficit to steal a 3-2 victory.
Golgol Mebrahtu's free kick and an Andrew Durante own goal gave the Heart a 2-0 lead after 16 minutes, while Louis Fenton's 20th minute strike pulled one back for the home team.

But two second-half goals from the prolific Jeremy Brockie were enough for Wellington to secure their fourth win of the season and climb to sixth on the ladder.
If the Heart had been guilty of squandering chances in previous games, they made up for it with two goals in as many minutes early in the first half.
The first came just on 14 minutes after Phoenix captain Durante brought down Heart striker Jason Hoffman just outside the area and Mebrahtu curled the resulting free kick past stranded keeper Mark Paston into the top right corner.
Too slow to regroup, Wellington conceded a second soon after when David Williams' strike deflected off Durante and through Paston's legs to make it 2-0.
Teenage striker Fenton pulled one back for the Phoenix four minutes later as Wellington pressure in the attacking third forced the turnover and Vince Lia's through-ball found Fenton for a clinical finish.

The Heart's makeshift defence continued to struggle without central defenders Simon Colosimo and Patrick Gerhardt, both serving a one-match suspension after collecting five yellow cards.
Brockie scored his eighth goal of the season with a penalty on 65 minutes after Heart defender Michael Marrone was adjudged to have pushed Fenton as he rose to meet a Leo Bertos cross.
Five minutes later Brockie punched home No.9 when playmaking midfielder Dani Sanchez's shot fell kindly after skewing off a defender.
Urged on by a 6410-strong crowd, the Phoenix launched a wave of attacks in the closing 10 minutes as Melbourne continued a dreadful away record this season which has secured them only four points from a possible 21.
