Dudu Omagbemi has been a huge influence for East Bengal this season. While Willis Plaza’s stint did not really work out with the Red and Golds, Dudu has come in and immediately showed why he is one of the most feared strikers in the I-League, scoring two goals.

Not only did he show good link-up play with the likes of Katsumi and Al Amna, but he also played as the target man, when required. This helped the Red and Golds get out of tight situations, when Lajong were putting a lot of pressure on their defence.
