NorthEast United FC head coach Vincenzo Annese highlighted fatigue and lack of rest as reasons for their 0-4 defeat to Mumbai City FC, in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Mumbai Football Arena, in Mumbai, on Thursday. Ahmed Jahouh opened the scoring early on, and then there was no stopping the high-flying table toppers who scored four goals past NorthEast United FC in the first half itself. A red card to Wilmar Gil early in the second half piled more misery on the away team as the Highlanders suffered their 13th defeat. Annese felt Gil’s sending-off made it more difficult for his side to mount a comeback against Mumbai City FC.
