Chennaiyin FC close gap on top-four with win over Jamshedpur FC

Chennai: Chennaiyin FC boosted their top-four hopes after an emphatic 4-1 win over Jamshedpur FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium here on Thursday. A terrific brace from Nerijus Valskis (13’, 74’) and fine strikes from Andre Schembri (42’) and Lallianzuala Chhangte (87’) helped Chennaiyin register their third win on the bounce. Sergio Castel’s (71’) second-half header turned out to be just a consolation for Jamshedpur FC. The win sees Owen Coyle’s side leapfrog Jamshedpur into the sixth spot, three points shy of fourth-placed Odisha FC. The Men of Steel, on the other hand, have been dealt a massive blow, sliding down the leaderboard. IANS
