#2 Iain Hume continues to struggle
Trending
One of the most bewildering things for Kolkata this season so far has been Iain Hume's form or rather lack of. The Canadian has been played all over the pitch by Jose Molina, and in the last game against NorthEast, the Spaniard wasn’t afraid to drop him and maybe rightly so.
While Hume had gone through a lean patch early on; many thought it would only be a matter of time before he starts delivering. However, even as we head into the business end of the tournament, last season’s second highest goalscorer has found it difficult to carve out goalscoring chances.
Hume may have moved up the goalscoring chart, taking his tally to 3 for the season, every one of them have come from the penalty spot and tonight, thankfully so. The Kolkata number 7 saw his effort from the spot saved by Edel Bete. However, he was fortunate to see the ball come back his way as he thrashed home the rebound.
At no point in time this season, Hume has looked anywhere menacing like the previous two seasons and Kolkata are desperately missing his sharpness in the final third.
