Delhi Dynamos FC crashed to their seventh defeat of Hero Indian Super League (ISL) 2017-18 after an Iain Hume hat-trick helped Kerala Blasters FC beat the Lions 3-1 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday. Delhi were level at the break after their skipper Pritam Kotal restored parity just before half-time but in the end Hume proved to be too hot for the Dynamos’ defence to handle in the second period. Delhi’s goal-scorer Pritam Kotal spoke exclusively to indiansuperleague.com after the game and shared his thoughts on the encounter. Here are the excerpts.

Thoughts on tonight’s match.

We played well, but we conceded a goal and made a silly mistake. We came back well and after 75 minutes we conceded again and we need to rectify our mistakes quickly.

What was the mood in the dressing room like at half-time?

No, when the score was tied 1-1, our coach said to keep playing as we were playing well but those five minutes cost us.

What are your thoughts on Iain Hume’s performance?

I played with him last year in ATK. He is a good player and he cost us.
