After a lean patch, Marcelinho roared back to form with a brilliant hat-trick against NorthEast United. He opened the scoring against Kerala Blasters with a composed finish. The Brazilian displayed pace, movement, clinical finishing and was too hot for the Blasters defence to handle especially in the first half.

This was the first time this season that Marcelinho has scored in consecutive matches. The 31-year old has now scored 6 goals and is the 3rd highest scorer of ISL 2017/18. The FC Pune City captain has also contributed with 4 assists, the joint highest this season, overall contributing with 10 goals so far. Last season’s golden boot winner is hauling himself back into contention for this year’s Golden Boot.
