Fans' Asian Player of the Week: Persepolis' Ali Alipour

Persepolis' Ali Alipour has been chosen as last week's Fans' Asian Player of the Week, following his impressive performance in his team's 3-0 win over FC Nasaf in the AFC Champions League opening matchday fixture.

He scored a brace as they smashed their opponents on the back of a confident performance. 

He fired a fierce shot into the top corner from inside the box after latching on to Sadegh Moharrami's pass in the 66th minute. Five minutes later, he drove Mohammad Ansari's low square pass inside the box into the goal to ensure Persepolis' dominance in the match reflected in the scoreline.
