East Bengal’s misfortune continued as they succumbed to a fourth defeat in five matches when they went down to minnows Indian Arrows on Saturday.
The New Year has started with three consecutive defeats against Churchill Brothers, Gokulam Kerala FC and arch-rivals Mohun Bagan. In the aftermath of the derby defeat, Spanish coach Alejandro Menendez left the club citing personal reasons.
The Red and Golds did make a brief comeback when they defeated reigning champions Chennai City FC 2-0. However, against Arrows, the same issues resurfaced to haunt the side.
