#1 The Anirudh Thapa Show
'Veni Vidi Vici' the famous Latin phase is an honest description of Thapa's performance today. He came, He saw, He conquered. Thapa was the livewire of today's game. One could say he single-handedly won the game for Chennaiyin FC.

It was from his sublime cross that Mailson Alves headed in the equaliser, and then a few minutes later Thapa showed why he is rated so highly in Indian football circle. First of all, he stole the ball brilliantly from Putiea and then went on a solo run where he used his strength cleverly to keep off Grgic and then finished off the move with a calm, composed left-footed finish.
It wasn't just his role in both the goals but the way he played throughout the 90minutes. It was as if wherever the ball was Thapa was there. He had a significant role in defence too and made sure Northeast United didn't equalise or stage a comeback in the second half.
The future star of the Indian National team has shown what he is capable of today and the fans would want him to play like this every day.
