10 Jan 2013 2:30 AM GMT
Henri Arnaud hit a brace in Churchill Brothers Sports Club’s impressive 3-1 victory over Pailan Arrows in an I-League clash at Duler Stadium here.
After a barren first session, Prathamesh Maulingkar gave Pailan Arrows a stunning lead in the 57th minute but within the next eight minutes, Pailan Arrows crumbled in the face of some sustained onslaught from the opposition.
Gabonese striker Henri scored two goals in three minutes and then Israil Gurung added his name to the score-sheet as the hosts won the second match on the trot at Duler’s artificial turf.
The win helped Churchill take the sole lead with 31 points from 13 matches, three points clear of Pune FC who lost against Prayag United, while Pailan Arrows were stuck to the eighth spot with 14 points from as many matches.
