#2 Hit- Subhasish Roy Choudhury

Subhasish was brilliant under the bar.

A few months back the future looked bleak for Subhasish Roy Choudhury who had played just three games for Jamshedpur FC last season and didn't sign a new contract with the Red Miners of Jamshedpur.

When NorthEast United came calling Subhasish agreed readily to play for the Highlanders as it guaranteed him one thing, the thing that he was in desperate need of - regular game time as a first-choice goalkeeper. A lot of people had doubts as to whether the keeper from Kolkata still had his 'A' game in his locker.

Four games into the season and it can be said that Subhasish has established himself as the number one keeper for NorthEast United this season and the shot-stopper has made vital saves for his side in each of their four games this season.

Today he made a world-class save from close range to deny Marcelinho in the early stages of the game.

NorthEast United need to thank Subhasish for helping them secure three points today. In the second half after Mislav was substituted, he managed to lead the likes of Wayne Vaz, Rakesh Pradhan, Reagan Singh with conviction along with Kai Heerings. His shot-stopping abilities have been praised by all this season.

Overall, his presence under the bar has been a massive boost for Robert Jarni's team.
