ISL: NorthEast United FC beat FC Goa 2-1

NorthEast United FC snapped a four-match losing streak with a 2-1 win over fancied FC Goa in the Indian Super League (ISL) in Guwahati on Saturday. The Highlanders, who sacked coach Joao de Deus after a 0-5 drubbing vs FC Pune City and roped in former Chelsea manager Avram Grant as their technical director, looked a transformed unit. Having dropped points against ATK in Kolkata, FC Goa suffered their third defeat, and two in three matches, to have 13 point from eight matches.
