Mumbai City FC failed to end their winless run as they were held to a 1-1 draw by NorthEast United FC in an ISL match here on Tuesday.

Ahmed Jahouh helped the reigning champions take the lead from the spot in the 30th minute, but a relentless NorthEast United finally got their reward through substitute Mohammed Irshad, who struck in the 79th minute to ensure both sides shared the spoils.

The result meant Mumbai remained winless in their last six games, moving back to the Top 4, with 18 points from 12 games, level on points with Chennaiyin FC who take on Bengaluru FC on Wednesday.
