Gokulam Kerala lit up the Diwali celebrations a day after the festival by defeating TRAU FC 2-0 to go top of the league table at the Kalyani Stadium in West Bengal, on Monday.<\/p>\n

After opening its I-league campaign with a draw against Inter Kashi, Gokulam has got its act together and has now notched three consecutive wins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alex Sanchez led from the front as he scored a brace in the first half. The prolific Gokulam captain now has eight goals in four matches.<\/p>\n

The Kerala team was reduced to 10 men when goalkeeper Devansh Dabas was sent off in the 62nd minute but it didn\u2019t affect the side\u2019s focus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It held on to the lead as TRAU FC suffered their third consecutive loss and moved to the bottom of the table.<\/p>\n

Rajasthan United breaks point drought with 2-0 victory over Churchill Brothers.<\/p>\n

Rajasthan United FC registered its first win of the 2023-24 I-League season with a convincing 2-0 victory over Churchill Brothers FC Goa at the Deccan Arena, in Hyderabad on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lalchungnunga Chhangte opened the scoring for the Desert Warriors early on, while Richardson Kwaku Denzell doubled the advantage later in the first half.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rajasthan, which was languishing at the bottom of the I-League table before the start of this game, having played three and lost as many, had a positive start to the game. Chhangte cut in from the left and unleashed a lethal left-footer that rocketed into the back of the net.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a feisty battle in the middle, as the Goan club tried all out to get back in the game in the first half.<\/p>\n

However, Rajasthan caught the Churchill Brothers defence off guard with a superb combination move in which Richard Gadze dinked a through pass between the lines on the volley to set up Denzell, who controlled it with his head before slamming it into the bottom corner.<\/p>\n
