Image Source: I-League[/caption] Internet Desk: Mohun Bagan's goal-less draw against Bengaluru FC has sparked new controversies as the referring of the game was highly criticized by the football fans across the country, as a goal scored by Katsumi Yusa was disallowed by Referee Srikrishna and Bagan's left fullback Subhasish Bose was sent off in the second half. Speaking to www.xtratime.in , Sanjoy said, "I have no right to know why the goal was disallowed or why Subhasish was sent off. If I question, then I might get suspended again. Everyone saw what happened. And a goal was disallowed in the previous game as well against Mumbai FC. So, its better for me not to comment on this." The Bagan coach believes his team is very much in the hunt of winning the title and is sending a strong message to Aizawl and East Bengal. He was saying, "Aizawl and East Bengal should not forget that they still have to play against us. And they should better be assured that my boys will do whatever they need to do to win it". He added, "My team won't play to show off their faces but to prove their quality. They should better be ready for that." Talking about the result, gaffer Sen stated it was a decent outcome for The Mariners, especially considering the team was down to ten men  69th minute as Subhasish Bose saw a second yellow. Further, Sen revealed that his side excelled in the initial half but the hosts got the better of them in the latter. ''Ultimately when you look at the aim, considering we were reduced to ten men, it is a good result. We played better in the first half than in the second half. From the kick off of second half, they put pressure on us,'' told the gaffer. The Bagan boss thought the defensive forces did a commendable job in stopping Bengaluru FC from captilazing on the chances. He disclosed that the Maroon and Green brigade's aim was to deny The Blues any action from the flanks, which they succeeded in executing. Bagan goalkeeper Shilton Paul, who played a heroic game today in the absence of Debjit Majumder, was taken to the hospital immediately after the game. He had a deep cut under his left eye and has been in serious pain. The flamboyant goalkeeper was telling XtraTime, "The doctors were suggesting to go for a stich but stood against it, because I have to play the next game. Considering the cut, I couldn't be able to play if had gone for the stitch." Mohun Bagan will play against the Blues again on the 14th in the AFC Cup game.
