ISL-4: Robbie Keane scores winner for ATK against Delhi Dynamos!

Defending champions ATK won their second match of ISL-4 in a row with a winner from their star striker Robbie Keane against Delhi Dynamos at the Saltlake Stadium on Saturday evening.

In the first session both ATK and Delhi Dynamos had their chances, but it remained goalless at the break.

In the second half, former Ireland striker Robbie Keane came into the action for ATK with his first attempt cleared by keeper Arnab Das Sharma. But then in the 78th minute, Keane turned back the clock and showed why he was a dreaded striker during his days in the Premier League. Off a Bipin Singh pass, Keane beat his marker and exquisitely placed the ball into the net.

This was all that would seperate the two teams in the end as ATK with their second win in a row got their title defence back on track, while the Delhi Dynamos remain bottom of the table.
