#1 Hat-trick hero Iain Hume

Iain Hume, who was signed from Kerala Blasters this season, scored a hat-trick after a disappointing start to the campaign. Hume scored his first goal from Gavilan’s sublime pass, and the Canadian striker did well to connect his low right-footed volley with it.

He added his second from the spot after Subhash fouled Gavilan inside the penalty box. He completed his hat-trick in the 81st minute from a Sameehg Doutie’s pass to make it 4-1 to Atletico de Kolkata, and put the game to bed.

Hume proved to be a nightmare for the Mumbai City FC defense, and his work rate was immense, which proved to be crucial. Atletico de Kolkata have struggled in the absence of Helder Postiga, and Antonio Habas will be delighted to see Hume finally finding his goal scoring form.
