Esteghlal moved three points clear at the top of the Iran Pro League with a 3-2 win over Shahin FC on Thursday.

Mojtaba Jabari was the home side's hero, netting a hat-trick including a last-minute winner after Masoud Nazarzadeh and Lek Kcira had levelled for Shahin.

Elsewhere, Rodrigo's late goal salvaged a point for Teraktor Sazi against Rah Ahan after Hossein Kazemi put the visitors in front just before the break.
