Kolkata: Eddie Hernandez’s rich vein in form continued as leaders Mohammedan Sporting brushed aside struggling TRAU FC 2-0 in their I-League match in Kalyani on Saturday.
The win helped Andrey Chernyshov’s team to 34 points from 15 matches, opening up a 8-point lead over Gokulam Kerala (14 matches) and Sreenidi Deccan FC (13 matches).
Four days ago, Hernandez struck a hat-trick in helping Mohammedan Sporting overcome new year blues with a 5-1 victory over Rajasthan United FC.
And the Honduran striker was at it again, scoring both goals (45+1 and 90+1) against bottom-placed TRAU, who are playing their home matches at Kalyani and have so far managed just 7 points from 14 matches.
