Two first-half goals, and another late in the night, were enough as Chennaiyin FC beat East Bengal FC 3-0 on Saturday on what was a memorable night for head coach Owen Coyle and playmaker Connor Shields, as both reached personal milestones in the Indian Super League (ISL).  

A Nishu Kumar own-goal gave Chennaiyin the lead in the 13th minute before Wilmar Jordan Gil doubled it eight minutes later (‘21) with his ninth of the campaign. Daniel Chima Chukwu added a third in the ninth minute of second-half stoppage time after Lalchungnunga was sent off for the hosts.
