East Bengal vs NorthEast United FC Highlights: East Bengal back to winning ways after a dominating 5-0 victory over the Highlanders

The final whistle blows and East Bengal registers a massive victory. This is the biggest for them in ISL history. A beautiful goal from Borja Herrera gave them the lead and then Cleiton Silva doubled the lead with a good header in the first half. The home side then destroyed the visitors in the second half after Silva and Nanda Kumar completed their brace. NorthEast United got an opportunity to put one goal back with a spot-kick opportunity but failed to convert from the spot.

East Bengal will also be happy with the clean sheet, which has come for them after their opening match against Jamshedpur this season.
