East Bengal took their unbeaten run to seven games following a 0-0 draw with Chennaiyin on Monday.

Robbie Fowler's side had to play for almost 60 minutes with 10 men in that game following the sending off of Ajay Chhetri.

The draw was a fifth in the seven-game unbeaten run, which started with a 1-1 draw against Kerala and a 2-2 stalemate with Chennaiyin.

They followed that by defeating Odisha 3-1 in a bottom of the table clash before another 1-1 draw, this time against Goa.

East Bengal were 1-0 winners over Bengaluru, before drawing 1-1 with Kerala thanks to Scott Neville's 95th minute equaliser.
