Silva doubled his tally in injury time, making the most of Narender Gahlot's botched clearance from a throw-in.

Bengaluru FC (BFC) defeated Jamshedpur FC 3-1 at Bambolim on Saturday to extend its unbeaten run in the Indian Super League (ISL) to nine games.

BFC, with three wins on the trot, moved to third spot on the points table. BFC is equal on points with Kerala Blasters (23 points), though the latter is second due to better goal difference. JFC (22 points) dropped to fourth.

AS IT HAPPENED |

Daniel Chima gave JFC the lead in the first minute, before BFC roared back with a goal from Sunil Chhetri and a brace from Cleiton Silva. Chhetri scored his 49th goal, equalling Hyderabad FC's Bart Ogbeche as the all-time highest goal scorer of the ISL.

JFC went ahead when Chima found the net for the second consecutive game since joining the side.

Chhetri pulled BFC level, firing home from inside the box. Naorem Roshan then whipped in a superb corner for Silva to nod it in and give BFC a 2-1 lead.

Silva doubled his tally in injury time, making the most of Narender Gahlot's botched clearance from a throw-in.
