Petratos shines once again 

Dimitri Petratos was chosen as the replacement for David Williams and Roy Krishna, and what a choice he has proven himself to be. The Australian scored thrice from the spot in the final, and was named the hero of the match. 

He has finished the campaign with the same number of goals as Golden Boot winner Diego Mauricio (12). But, having done so in two extra games, he missed out on the award to the Odisha FC man. 

‘Karma’ for Bengaluru FC? 

Bengaluru FC owner Parth Jindal took to Twitter to call for the introduction of VAR in the ISL, following some ‘shocking’ decisions in the final. To this, Kerala Blasters fans were quick to respond following their semi-final controversy, which led to them walking out. 

Bengaluru FC put up a very strong fight, scoring two goals via Sunil Chhetri and Roy Krishna. 

The news Mariners fans have been waiting for
