Disastrous defending hands Kerala Blasters a deserving defeat

Kerala Blasters lost focus at the back and were easy to carve open for Chennaiyin FC...

It is difficult to win games without a good defence. Period.

Kerala Blasters' performance in their 3-1 defeat to Chennaiyin was a perfect example of lacklustre defending and non-existent organization in defence and midfield. There were controversial decisions and a few well-taken goals but Blasters have only themselves to blame for the loss. It was a horror show at the back that allowed Chennaiyin to pick up their first win under new head coach Owen Coyle and only their second win of the season.
