#2 Stiven Mendoza – 17 goals
Stiven Mendoza is a name that has become synonymous with goals in Indian football. His 2014 arrival at Chennaiyin was arguably overshadowed by the likes of Elano but very soon the Chennai faithful realised that this particular Colombian had something about him. He only made nine appearances in his first season but his four goals in that period meant that a return was soon on the cards.
A 2015 loan spell back at Chennaiyin proved to be a spectacular decision as he scored a whopping 13 goals in 16 ISL appearances, taking Chennaiyin to the pinnacle of Indian football. The player now plies his trade elsewhere but is fondly remembered by all those who follow the cash-rich Indian league.
