NorthEast United FC is over-reliant on Bartholomew Ogbeche for goals. He has scored ten goals this season making him the first Northeast player to get into double digits in the Indian Super League.

He is already the clubs all-time leading goal scorer and will look to keep his scoring momentum going for the remaining of the season.

The goal which the Nigerian International scored against the defending champions was of the highest quality and is probably one of the goals of the season.

The left-footed strike from around 30 yards out left the whole Chennaiyin FC squad stunned as the Highlanders rode to victory due to that goal.

Ogbeche, in general, has been an overall leader in the squad on and off the pitch. His experience of playing in top-level leagues in Europe has helped NorthEast United this season.

His combination with Federico Gallego has been very fruitful for the Highlanders, and it has been their primary source for goals.

Many footballing experts have praised Ogbeche's ability to hold the ball up front and bring the others around him into the game.
