CSKA Moscow came from behind to beat Rostov 2 - 1 in the Russian Premier League in the 6th round of games on Saturday evening.

Sardar Azmoun gave the visitors the lead in the sixth minute but Ahmed Musa restored parity in the 66th minute before an own goal by Dzhanaev two minutes from time decided the outcome of the meeting.

The Nigeria international striker has netted 5 times in his last 9 matches across all competitions.

The Muscovites have now won six games on the trot to maintain their top position in the standings with 18 points in the kitty, five more than closest challengers and bitter rivals Spartak.

CSKA Moscow set a club record for the most consecutive wins at the start of the league, beating their previous record of five wins they set back in the 2002 season.
