Karanjit Singh has been an excellent servant to Chennai, playing a crucial role in their 2017-18 title-winning season, after splitting first-team duty with former Armenia international Apoula Edel in the other title-winning season, in 2015. By the looks of things, though, Chennai needs to move on.

The 32-year-old has had a season to forget thus far, as he’s let in goals he’d not have a couple of seasons ago. While the first goal, a 25-yard screamer from Pablo Morgado, and the penalty looked rather unstoppable, Mario Arques managed to bamboozle him for the third from close range, restoring Jamshedpur’s two-goal lead in the process.

It effectively punctured any hope Chennai had to get back into the game though Raphael Augusto had only scored four minutes earlier. Chennaiyin FC needs to invest in a younger goalkeeper come the summer to have a crack at reclaiming their title next season.
