ISL 2017: Top 5 midfielders of Round 3

The third week of ISL 2017 has come to an end and in the five games we witnessed, there were some superb performances from various teams.

FC Goa and FC Pune City both recorded wins, Kerala Blasters scored their first goal of the season in a 1-1 draw with Mumbai City FC, while Chennaiyin FC continued their dominance over FC Pune City. In the remaining match, Jamshedpur FC played out a goalless draw against ATK.

In this article, we look at 5 midfielders whose performances stood out among the rest!

#5 Everton Santos (Mumbai City FC)

The Mumbai City FC man has been one of the few bright spots going forward for the Islanders. His superb cross for Balwant Singh against the Kerala Blasters helped the Mumbai side salvage a draw against a defence which had not conceded a goal in their first two matches.

The Brazilian has impressed with his work rate and directness with the ball going forward. His impact can be highlighted by the fact that Mumbai City FC have scored four goals and Everton Santos has played a part in three of those goals. The 31-year-old’s eight shots attempted is also the most by a Mumbai City FC player.
