#1: Roshan Singh, Bengaluru FC
The goal of Matchweek 5 has to be Roshan Singh’s sublime volley against Punjab FC.
In what was a top-of-the-table clash, Bengaluru FC’s full-back made a darting late run into the box to get on the end of a cross from the right side and unleashed a beautiful volley that rocketed into the back of the net.
That was the only goal of the match, helping BFC extend their lead at the top of the ISL table.
