ISL 2017/18: Best Forwards of the final week of the league stage
We look at some of the best performances of the week in the Indian Super League.
The league stages of the ISL came to an end with FC Goa easing past Jamshedpur FC in a must-win match to secure their place in the semi-finals. There were confidence-boosting wins for Bengaluru FC and Chennaiyin FC, while ATK avoided the wooden spoon after defeating NorthEast United.
In this article, we look at 5 forwards whose performances stood out among the rest!
#5 Robbie Keane
Robbie Keane scored against NorthEast United helping ATK avoid the wooden spoon. The experienced forward has scored each of the last 4 goals that ATK have managed.The former Republic of Ireland international has scored 6 goals in 6 matches in which he has completed 90 minutes.
Keane’s fitness issues were one of the big reasons for ATK’s dreadful performance in front of goal. The 38-year-old finished the ISL 2017/18 campaign as ATK’s top scorer with 6 goals in a season where none of their players managed more than 2 goals. His form is a big boost to ATK for their Super Cup hopes.
