Defending champions ATK are back in the reckoning in Hero Indian Super League 2017-18, as they followed up a win at Mumbai City FC, with their first home victory against Delhi Dynamos FC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Saturday. A lone Robbie Keane goal was enough to seal the deal and hand Delhi their fifth straight defeat of the season. Speaking to indiansuperleague.com after the match was Keane, alongside the host’s latest signing Ryan Taylor, as they both spoke about the win. Here are the excerpts.

Keane, what are your thoughts on the game?

We won three points which is the most important thing. We obviously can do a little bit better in possession, but the main thing in this league is getting points on the board. I think the more we play with each other and the more we get to know each other, we will be a lot better, certainly in possession. But at the end of the day, the three points is the most important thing.

Tell us about your maiden Hero ISL goal.

Yes, it was obviously nice getting a chance. Bipin (Singh) headed it down to me. I got on the turn, and luckily enough, I put it in the corner.

Ryan, do you think you are ATK’s lucky charm?

I hope so! I hope we win another 12. It is always nice to come home and get the first win at home.

Keane, tell us how it is playing with Taylor?

You know he is going to get the ball and pass it in. The hardest part of football is keeping the ball, and we found that difficult tonight. But with players like Ryan, it is certainly a lot easier.

Ryan, how does it feel to have Robbie leading the attack?

One chance and one goal tonight for Robbie. It just shows the quality he has. I think we need to supply him a bit more than what we have tonight, and I’m sure by the end of the season, he will have a lot more goals if we can find him in the box. Like I said, one chance, one goal, shows us his top quality.
