David Lalrinmuana will celebrate his birthday a few days later. But he got a precious gift from himself when he scored against Mohun Bagan in the dying moments to earn his team a point.

David is not unknown in Indian football. He is a former product of Mohun Bagan academy. He had even scored against Manchester United Academy during a tour in England. He has played almost all the youth level tournaments for his state Mizoram. He even plied his trade for ISL club Mumbai City FC and played for East Bengal couple of seasons ago. Now with Aizawl, he is shining again at the highest stage.

He is a good free-kick taker. Two seasons ago, he scored from the same position against Bengaluru FC to silence Kanteerava Stadium. On Saturday, he silenced Salt Lake Stadium also.

He came in as a substitute in the 70th minute, but could not impress as Mohun Bagan were dominating and were looking for their third goal. But the moment of reckoning came in 92nd minute and Lalrinmuana knew it was his chance to be the hero. He did it perfectly.
