Kean Lewis (2nd and 67th) and Abiola Dauda (21st, 30th) struck a brace, while Sheikh Faiaz (48th) and Nikola Stojanovic (80th) sealed the 10-goal thriller.

The win also allayed the Black Panthers relegation fears as they jumped to eighth place in the 12-team standings with 23 points from 19 matches.

For the Deccan, Rilwan Hassan (3rd), David Castaneda (28th-penalty), Louis Ogana (79th) and Rosenberg Gabriel (93rd) found the target but only to fall short.

It was, however, a big blow to the Sreenidi's title aspiration as they remained on 40 points along with Punjab FC who have a match in hand.?

Punjab will have the opportunity to climb up to the top of the standings when they face Sudeva Delhi on Sunday.
