Not for the first time this season, Goa's Moroccan recruit was living life in the fast lane as he continued to plunge into extremely dangerous tackles, some from behind and borderline injury-causing.

On one such occasion, he rammed into Chennai's Calderon, who doesn't usually go down easily. This time though, Jahouh sliced his studs onto the Argentine's leg as the camera panned towards his bleeding cut.

But that didn't deter Jahouh one bit. He continued to be a thorn and did well to harry Chennai's midfielders off the ball, rarely giving them time to ponder. His approach may have been dangerous but it was surely effective as he was largely successful in stifling Chennai's creative players.
