John Stiven Mendoza scored a hat trick as Chennaiyin FC beat Kerala Blasters 4-1 win to go sixth in the ISL table.

Chennaiyin took only three minutes to go in front when Dhanachandra Singh scored after an Antonio German effort came back off the post.

And Mendoza made it 2-0 just after the quarter of an hour mark before completing his treble with two goals late in the second half.

Blasters scored in the final minute through Gewrman, but they drop to the bottom of the table with 11 points from 11 games.
