Florent Malouda helped Delhi Dynamos secure an impressive 4-1 win over Chennaiyin after managing to score twice and assisting furthermore in the game.
It was quite easily the best performance from the Frenchman since he arrived at the Indian capital to play in the Indian Super League. Until now, he has struggled make the kind of impact that his talent would warrant. He has played 25 games in two campaigns with the club, but the Frenchman had yet to score a goal. Malouda would probably rank as one of the disappointing marquee signings in the ISL due to this record.

However, he finally managed to get back on track and the show the talent he possesses by scoring two and setting up another for his teammates. It was a mighty performance against the defending champions and it has helped Delhi Dynamos move to the top of the table. It is an important progress for the team considering that they want to have the momentum with the end of the regular season fast approaching.
Delhi Dynamos only managed to sneak into the play-offs at the last moment last season, while they were beaten by FC Goa 3-1 on aggregate.
After having failed to appear in the final of the ISL so far, it will take more than just one good performance from Malouda in order to make Delhi Dynamos one of the strongest outfits in the ISL. The main challenge for the club will be to overcome the competition from Mumbai City, who are widely perceived to have the best attack in the division. The team’s next matches are against Atletico de Kolkata, Pune City, and Goa. They need to make the maximum number of points from these matches since the last two games are away from home, and Delhi Dynamos have not been great on the road.
