NorthEast United gaffer Eelco Schattorie has brought out the best in goalkeeper Pawan Kumar.

The Gurdaspur-born player has represented clubs such as JCT, Air India, Salgaocar, and Bengaluru FC in the past. His stint with the ISL began with Chennaiyin last season but he only started once.

NorthEast United conceded the least number of goals during the league stage (18) and Kumar deserves a fair share of credit for that.

The 28-year-old possesses excellent reflexes and has made a total of 29 saves in the 14 matches he has played. Kumar conceded just 13 goals and also averages 15.86 passes per game. The NorthEast United goalkeeper has six clean sheets to his name and tops the charts as things stand.

Pawan's minute per goal ratio of 89.38 is also noteworthy and something which puts him in good stead for winning the Golden Glove award.
