As Leren points out, after XY wing is applied, the puzzle solves quickly.

Here is same 357 XY wing with the pivot changed. This XY wing results in two 7s being eliminated.

| 39   8   39  | 1   c57     5-7 | 246  46  26 |
| 6    5   4   | 89    2     89  | 7    3   1  |

| 5    7   19  | 2     14    89  | 468  46  3  |
'--------------'-----------------'-------------'


The puzzle is quickly solved following either of the xy wings.
