A first-minute blitz ensured Maccabi Tel Aviv climbed back up to first place in the Premier League standings on Monday night, with the yellow-and-blue claiming a 3-1 victory over Hapoel Ra’anana at Bloomfield Stadium.It took Maccabi just 38 seconds to move into the lead, with Munas Dabbur heading in the opener after some excellent build-up play by Tal Ben- Haim. The victory was all but wrapped up with the match not even six minutes old after Maharan Radi made the most of a melee in the Ra’anana box.The hosts took their foot off the gas after that, but man-of-the-match Ben- Haim scored the goal he deserved in the 65th minute before Mamadou Toure (72) netted a consolation goal for Ra’anana, which dropped to just its second defeat of the season.
