Seimenlen Doungel's super-sub performance against Jamshedpur FC deserves a special mention. The Yellow Brigade were two goals down when the 24-year-old arrived and had missed a penalty ten minutes earlier. It looked as if the Blasters would taste their first defeat of the season as no one perceived that Jamshedpur could leak two minutes in the last twenty minutes of the game.

His cross from the left wing was connected perfectly by Slavisa Stojanovic to close down the gap at the 71st minute. In a similar turn of events, it was CK Vineeth who was on the other end as he netted in Doungel's cross at the 85th minute to restore parity.

Doungel wouldn't have got a start in the playing eleven given the form of Pronay Halder and Anirudh Thapa. But, he should have made the probable squad in place of Farukh Chaudhary. Till then, he gets a spot in our Unpicked XI.
