No player has scored more than five goals for NorthEast United FC in a single campaign. Emiliano Alfaro and Nicolas Velez are tied with five.

With his goal on Thursday, Bartholomew Ogbeche has already five goals in only four matches. So the record will surely break this time.

With the form he is into, it is almost impossible for defenders to stop Ogbeche from scoring goals. The Nigerian is a prolific striker. He takes position, gets the ball, tried to find way and score goals. This has become a routine this year. And if you are lucky, you can see some astonishing effort from his feet.

Jamshedpur had to swallow it badly. When Gallego pass was received by Ogbeche, he had three defenders surrounding him, with another one behind preparing for the final tackle. Ogbechhe had fractions of a second to think what he will do.

He received the ball with his right foot, cuts inside and made a U-turn, poked the ball past a hapless Subrata Paul. The bamboozled Jamshedpur defenders had nothing to do but watching the Nigerian’s brilliance.
