3. Manvir Singh (Mohun Bagan Super Giant)

The Mohun Bagan winger Manvir Singh continues to find the back of the net for his team whenever the opportunity arises. While delivering a powerful and precise finish following a marauding run from the right wing, Singh showed why he is arguably Mohun Bagan’s best player this season. His physicality and relentless pressing were instrumental in disrupting the NorthEast United defensive structure.

The 29-year-old’s goal highlighted his knack for being the man for the big occasions this season. In 9 appearances this season, Manvir has contributed with 3 goals and 3 assists, making him a constant threat in the attacking third for any defender.

Manvir’s partner-in-crime, Liston Colaco played a pivotal role in Mohun Bagan’s victory. His mesmerizing run and crucial goal helped his side get a cushion to their slender 1-0 lead. Colaco has played a superb complimentary role to Singh with the attacking duo playing a huge role in their club maintaining their strong position in the league standings.

His goal showcased his technical prowess and sharp attacking instincts with a lovely finesse shot into the right-hand bottom corner. The winger’s contributions on the flank have kept the opposition defenses that have come against him on their toes throughout the season. The 26-year-old is slowly but surely solidifying his reputation as one of the league’s most dynamic wingers with every passing game.

1. Sunil Chhetri (Bengaluru FC)

The 40-year-old continues to lead the way for the Blues with another instant classic performance as their hat-trick hero. The legendary Indian forward and Bengaluru FC captain was all-action in a huge rivalry game against Kerala Blasters FC and made all the difference on the night. In a game where the Blues looked vulnerable defensively, Chhetri demonstrated impeccable positional awareness and composure in front of goal.

His goals not only secured three crucial points for Bengaluru but reinforced his status as still being one of the league’s most influential players at age 40. In 11 appearances this season, Chhetri has recorded 8 goals and 1 assist to the West Block Blues’ delight.
