ATK Mohun Bagan climbed to the top of the ISL table after an entertaining 2-2 draw with Kerala Blasters FC at the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Goa on Saturday.

The result also helped the Kerala team enter the top four of the standings.

Adrian Luna netted the opening goal for Blasters in the seventh minute but David Williams drew level in the next minute. In the second half, Luna scored his second and handed Blasters the lead back, but in stoppage time Joni Kauko (90+7’) made it 2-2 for ATK Bagan.

While toppers ATK Bagan have 30 points from 16 games, Blasters now have 27 points from 16 outings and sit in fourth place.

Blasters took the lead when Luna curled in a free kick up and over the wall and into the left corner leaving rival goalkeeper Amrinder Singh stranded. A minute later, Pritam Kotal sent in a low cross first time for Williams, who shot on the run to net the equaliser.

Both the teams then settled down a bit after the high-tempo start before Liston Colaco’s effort was palmed away by Prabhsukhan Gill and Lalthathanga Khawlhring’s rasping left-footer was tipped onto the crossbar by Amrinder for a corner.

At the start of the second half, ATK Bagan head coach Juan Ferrando replaced goalscorer Williams with Hugo Boumous and the Frenchman did have an impact, controlling play in the middle of the park and drawing fouls in important areas of the pitch.

But it was Kerala who took the lead for the second time in the match.

Luna scored a peach of a goal after Khawlhring got the ball on the edge of the box and chipped it to him. Luna chested it down, cut in and slammed the ball into the top corner.

Prabir Das was sent off in the dying minutes for a rash challenged on Luna.

There was more drama in store as Kauko made it 2-2 from a Boumous pass inside the box, the Finland international letting fly a powerful shot past Gill and into the goal.

Diaz was also shown a red card when he was on the bench for dissent.
