Navi Mumbai: Chennaiyin FC produced a clinical performance and thrashed Mumbai City FC 3-0, to consolidate their position at the top of the table in Indian Super League at the DY Patil Stadium here on Sunday.

Bruno Pelissari gave his side the lead in the 71st minute when he slotted the ball home. Pelissari took advantage of a blunder from Mumbai midfielder Jan Stohanzl, who gave away the ball from the edge of the box before Chennaiyin’s Balwant Singh failed to get a touch.

The Marco Materazzi-coached side extended the lead 10 minutes later, when Dhanachandra Singh’s shot found the back of the net after capitalising on a error from Mumbai custodian Subrata Paul.

The Abhishek Bachchan and Mahendra Singh Dhoni co-owned side took an unsailable 3-0 lead in the 89th minute, when Cristian Hidalgo, who came in for Pelissari in the 73rd minute, smashed a brilliant freekick past to the right of a flying Paul into the Mumbai goal. (PTI)
