Top 10 Indian goalkeepers of 2016

#8 Soram Poirei Anganba (Readers’ Ranking – 9th)

Average Score – 2.5

This was the young Manipuri’s breakout year in Indian football, and he did himself no harm. He played 11 games for Aizawl FC in the Mizoram side’s first I-League season and they did not finish with the wooden spoon – which was taken by fellow debutants DSK Shivajians.

Soram conceded 14 goals in the 11 games that he played for Aizawl and kept only one clean sheet but he did make enough of an impression for the Delhi Dynamos to sign him for the ISL. He played five games for the Dynamos ahead of Toni Doblas and did make a decent impression, although he conceded nine goals in those five games.

His best moment of the ISL was a stunning penalty save that he made against FC Pune City. Momo Sissoko’s penalty wasn’t placed too well, but there was plenty of power behind it and Soram did really well to push the ball away.
