"I am very happy to win this trophy. It obviously would not be possible without my teammates. I have to congratulate them too, they all played very good," Angulo said in a pre-recorded video.

Coming in as a replacement for the ISL's all-time top-scorer Ferran Corominas, Angulo proved time and again that he is more than capable of filling the void left by his compatriot and played a pivotal role in his side's path to the semifinal.

Krishna, meanwhile, missed the Golden Boot award by a whisker for the second year running. In 2019-20, he scored a joint league-high of 15 goals but Nerijus Valskis as he had more assists. The criteria has been changed this season as the goals per minute ratio was applied to break a tie.
