#4 East Bengal have bought some quality overseas players this season
Trending
Any team that has Ivan Bukenya is guaranteed of quality defending, but his performances this season have been nothing short of exceptional. Even today, he completely bossed the Bengaluru frontline, which includes the brilliant Sunil Chettri, the mercurial CK Vineeth and the effervescent Udanta Singh.
It was his pass that set up the first goal, which was a 23-yard left-footed scorcher from Wedson Anselme. Bukenya and Anselme combined repeatedly throughout the game, and the latter gave a torrid time to Bengaluru’s backline.
Chris Payne, who made the starting eleven today, had a decent outing as well, as he helped to set up Robin Singh’s second goal. When you realise that Willis Plaza missed this game due to injury and the Trinidad and Tobago striker is the fourth highest goalscorer in the league, you realise that the Bengal brigade have probably recruited the best set of foreign footballers this year.
