Bengaluru FC rally to floor Jamshedpur in Indian Super League

Bengaluru FC overcame a dream start from Jamshedpur FC and scripted a superb fightback in the second half for a 3-1 victory in an Indian Super League match in Bambolim on Saturday. BFC's defence, which looked in trouble when they conceded their 20th goal of the season in the very first minute, came back strongly with at least two unbelievable saves, one by Parag Shrivas, that helped them carve out a crucial win with goals from Cleiton Silva (62, 90+3) and Sunil Chhetri (55th). The win, which stretched BFC's unbeaten run to nine matches, took them to the third spot with 23 points as JFC slipped to fourth. Chhetri found the equaliser (1-1) connecting a long throw-in by Pratik Chaudhari in the 55th minute. It was Chhetri's 49th goal which put him in second spot in the all-time list. Cleiton Silva then joined the party, first in the 62nd (the ball went in off a deflection) and in the third minute of added time with an insurance goal.
