Marcus Joseph-inspried Gokulam Kerala stun Mohun Bagan to lift Durand Cup

Trinidadian forward Marcus Joseph’s brace inspired Gokulam Kerala to Durand Cup title in their debut campaign with a 2-1 win over 16-time champions Mohun Bagan at the Salt Lake Stadium on Saturday.

Joseph converted a penalty deep into the first half and doubled the lead with his menacing left-footer in the 51st minute.

Terribly let down by their defence especially in the first-half, the Mariners stepped up the attack after the changeover and pulled one back through Salva Chamorro header from a Joseba Beitia free-kick in the 64th minute.
