The runaway leaders have scored 11 of their 19 set-piece goals this season from corner kicks
KOLKATA: Nineteen of the 36 goals scored by Indian Super League (ISL) runaway leaders Mohun Bagan Super Giant have come from set-piece movements. Mohun Bagan have equalled FC Goa's record of most goals from restart moves set in the entirety of 2019-20 with five rounds of the league remaining.
Eleven of those goals have come from corner-kicks, the most by any team in a single season, according to data provided by ISL. That explains why Mohun Bagan left-back and skipper Subhasish Bose leads their goalscoring charts along with attacking players Jamie Maclaren and Manvir Singh. After 19 rounds, all of them have scored six goals each.
Bose's tally is the most by a defender in any ISL season. His teammates in defence Alberto Rodriguez (4), Tom Aldred (2) and Dippendu Biswas (1) have also scored. Most teams have struggled to deal with the physical presence of Mohun Bagan's tall and strong players in the penalty area.
