Wright’s Socceroos are heading to Russia

The sides went into the second leg in Sydney locked at 0-0, but a second half hat-trick from Mile Jedinak saw the home side qualify for their fourth successive World Cup.

Jedinak opened the scoring early into the second half with a deflected free kick, before the Aston Villa midfielder successfully converted two spot-kicks to put the tie beyond doubt.

Honduras did prevent Wright - who completed 90 minutes - from keeping a clean sheet, when Maynor Figueroa bundled the ball home from a corner, but it proved nothing but a consolation.

Wright is set to be the third-ever City player to feature at the tournament, following on from Luke Wilkshire, who also represented Australia in 2006, while fellow teammate Hordur Magnusson will compete in Russia with Iceland.
