Odisha FC registered a 2-1 victory over East Bengal FC to consolidate their position at the top of the Indian Super League (ISL) table here on Thursday. The sailing wasn`t as smooth for the home side though, with East Bengal FC winger Vishnu Puthiya making heads turn by notching the fastest goal by any player in the current ISL season to break the deadlock in the 33rd second of the match. Right after the kick-off, Vishnu went dazzling down the right flank, picking the ball on the edge of the box, cutting into the middle, beating Jerry Lalrinzuala and outmanoeuvring Carlos Delgado before launching an instinctive shot beyond Odisha FC goalkeeper Amrinder Singh to put his side ahead. East Bengal FC had a fantastic chance to sustain the pressure secured through this early lead.
