Kolkata, Jan 27 (IANS) A last-gasp header from substitute Balwant Singh saw ATK pip NorthEast United 1-0 and go atop the Indian Super League table at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan here on Monday. The hosts created plenty of chances but were wasteful until an injury-time strike from substitute Balwant proved to be the difference. Despite his absence from the touchline, Antonio Habas' side returned to the top of the table, level on points with FC Goa who also have 27 points from 14 matches. The Highlanders remained on ninth position with 11 points from as many games. In-form ATK striker Roy Krishna had the NorthEast defence on red alert early on with his dangerous runs off the ball. After a couple of unsuccessful runs down the right flank, Prabir Das delivered an excellent cross in his third try and it almost found Krishna's run into the box, until Kai Heering made a crucial interception to deny the Fijian a shot on target. The visitors had their first sight of the AT...

Leeds [UK], Jan 27 (ANI): Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus is aiming to improve on his penalty-taking abilities and said that it builds pressure when you miss penalties. "In the training sessions I take them and I score more than I miss. If I take five I miss one and sometimes I don't miss. In games it's been different. I've taken three this season - two here and one with the national team Brazil - and I missed all three," Goal.com quoted Jesus as saying. "When you miss three in a row you go to the next one under pressure to score. So that's the challenge. I have in my mind that I have to train more and improve more of course," he added. Jesus missed a penalty on January 22 against Sheffield United. Despite the miss, the club managed to secure a 1-0 win in the match. During the clash against Fulham on Sunday in FA Cup, Ilkay Gundogan took over the duty to take the penalty and successfully converted it. However, Jesus still managed to score t...
