Jackichand Singh scored the Indian Super League's fastest goal of 2015 to hand FC Pune City a 1-0 win and leapfrog opponents Atletico de Kolkata to top spot on Saturday.

Singh capitalised on a long ball to finish across Kolkata goalkeeper Juan Calatayud after just 76 seconds at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex Stadium.

The hosts had the better of the game and forced Calatayud into a number of saves, though Pune keeper Steven Simonsen had to be alert to make a spectacular late stop to deny Iain Hume late on.

Pune's marquee signing Adrian Mutu then appeared off the bench but could not find the net with a header, while Kolkata captain Borja Fernandez failed to score late on as the visitors lost their first game of the season as well as top spot in the table.
