Manuel Lanzarote is not an easy player to play against. The Goan midfielder makes sure to get under the oppositions skin every time he gets an opportunity to do so. He is certainly not the most ethical player in ISL.

Tonight, he left a bitter taste in the mouths of every single Jamshedpur player. His antics left the visitors reeling and angry. After scoring a penalty that should have never been awarded, the Spaniard made sure he rubbed it in on Jamshedpur's goalkeeper Subrata Paul.

He continued to argue with the referee all night and even feigned a couple of injuries by falling to the ground at the slightest touch. But there is no denying the fact that Lanzarote is an extremely talented player.

Tonight, he scored a brace and is now the third highest goal scorer in the league. His second left-footed curler had class written all over it.
