ATK, top of table

Two-time former champions ATK continued their dream run and beat Jamshedpur FC 3-1 to climb to the top of the Indian Super League (ISL) standings here on Saturday.

On a rain-hit evening with cyclone 'Bulbul' making a landfall near the West Bengal coastline, the home side dominated the proceedings and took a 2-0 lead with Fijian star forward Roy Krishna converting from the spot in the 57th and 71st minutes.

Sergio Castel reduced the margin for Jamshedpur FC in the 85th minute with yet another penalty after Anas Edathodika brought down Noe Acosta in an ugly challenge inside the box.

Castel buried that with ease but the visitors failed to equalise and it was Edu Garcia who sealed the deal with a magnificent finish (90+2nd minute) at the Salt Lake Stadium.

David Williams made an excellent cross-field ball from the right towards Roy Krishna who put it into the path of Garcia on his first touch.

Garcia took a few touches to get close to the goalkeeper and chipped it brilliantly into the net to end Jamshedpur's unbeaten run in their first away match this season.

The Antonio Lopez Habascoached side, who endured a disappointing start losing at Kerala 2-1 in the ISL-6 opener, thus secured a hat-trick of wins. They thrashed Hyderabad FC 5-0 before a hardfought 1-0 away win against Chennaiyin FC in their previous match.

The Kolkata franchise have nine points from four matches to occupy the top spot, ahead of FC Goa (eight points).

Jamshedpur FC were pushed to fourth place with seven points from four matches.
