A hat-trick by striker Dipendu Biswas and excellent gamesmanship by medio Dharamjit saw Mohun Bagan drub Chirag United 4-1 in the IFA Premier League in Kolkata on Thursday.

Chirag's Asim Das scored the lone goal for his side just after the break.

The first goal for the green and maroon brigade came in the seventh minute. Du headed a ball into the penalty box after getting a pass from Dharamjit. Dipendu made no mistake in converting it into a goal.

Chirag United got its consolation goal immediately after the lemon break when Asim flicked in a pass by teammate Shankar Roy Choudhury.

Stung by the set-back, Bagan players piled up more pressure on the Chirag defence and got the result just four minutes later when an excellent header by Du from a Dharamjit free-kick entered into the net.

Bagan's fourth goal and Dipendu's hat-trick came in the last minute when his right-footer from a corner by Dharamjit found the net.

Dipendu was adjudged the man of the match.
