Ferran Corominas

It's getting a bit boring now, this routine of Ferran Corominas scoring in the ISL. Oh, no, who am I kidding? It's still an absolute joy to watch the Spaniard play. Restored to his role in leading the Goa front-line, Coro was once again the menace that ISL defenders always know him to be.

He got himself his customary goal, with a neat easy finish after good work from Seriton.


Sunil Chhetri

The drought is over. Yes, those are the standards that Sunil Chhetri has set for himself. He went four ISL games without a goal (including last season's final) and tongues had begun to wag. They were shut emphatically, with a rocket of a strike that gave Vishal Kaith no chance in the Chennaiyin goal.

He could've had a hat-trick, really, with two gilt-edged opportunities spurned either side of half-time. Early in the first half, Harmanjot Khabra put in a peach of a cross that was somehow headed wide by Chhetri, after he dived on it, when he might have been better served staying on his feet and volleying it.

In the dying minutes of the game, he missed another golden chance, when Dimas's cut-back found him in the six-yard box with the net gaping, but his strike was wide of the target.

Roy Krishna

Roy Krishna won himself two penalties with superb runs into the box, and then emphatically finished both those penalties giving Subrata Paul no chance.

He even had time for some mind-games with Subrata and a handshake after scoring the second penalty. On a stormy Kolkata evening, Krishna provided the spark, as the man with the captain's armband propelled ATK to the top of the table.
