Chennai FC stunned Delhi Dynamos by a whopping 4-0 margin in their Indian Super League Clash (ISL) in Chennai on Tuesday. And with the win, they've put themselves right back in contention for the playoffs.

Chennaiyin jumped to the fourth spot and pushed North East United and Pune City to fifth and sixth positions respectively.

Chennai, last year semifinalists, will be play Mumbai in their last league tie on December 1.

Marco Materazi's decision to go in for a 4-4-2 formation was too much for the Delhi forwards to create any ripple in the Chennaiyin territory throughout the game.

As his wont, Stevin Mendonza opened the scoreboard for Chennaiyin in the 17th minute. After goal keeper Toni Doblas headed Mondonza shot, the star striker with bundle of energy ran for the ball and booted home for his tenth goal of the season.

Bruno Pellissery, who muffed with a chance in the 19th minute, increased the lead in the very next minute latching on to a rebounder off Tony Doblas and in the 40th minute, Jeje made it 3-0.

After the break, the jubilant Chennaiyin continued their aggressive game and in the 57th minute, Jeje, who has been in superb form, capped with the fourth goal.

The hosts defenders had the gumption to challenge with their skills and kept up their good work to prevent any damage to their citadel. Wadoo was dominant at the back and also played upfront when necessary, while Rafel was too good in his tackling.
