FC Pune City lost their last match against Bengaluru FC 1-3, but the efforts of Adil Khan cannot be ignored. The curly haired midfielder scored a fine diving header to give FC Pune City the lead and it was his 2nd goal in as many matches for the Stallions, illustrating his aerial prowess and keen eye for goal.

The 29-year-old has impressed for the club with his energy, defensive nous and tough tackling. He has attempted 9 tackles in just 4 matches. FC Pune City fell apart against Bengaluru FC in their last game due to the red card Baljit Sahni received, but the inclusion of Adil Khan in defence has made them defensively more secure and it bodes well for their future matches.
