ISL: Balwant to the rescue, as ATK edges NorthEast United to climb on top

January 28, 2020

• A last-gasp header from substitute Balwant Singh saw ATK pip NorthEast United 1-0 and go top of the Indian Super League ladder at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Monday.
• The hosts created plenty of chances but were wasteful until an injury-time strike from substitute Balwant proved to be the difference. Despite his absence from the touchline, Antonio Habas’ side returned to the top of the table, level on points with FC Goa who also have 27 points from 14 matches. The Highlanders remain ninth with 11 points from as many games.
