Very rarely does Gurpreet Singh Sandhu feature in the flop list. Bengaluru FC shot-stopper did himself no favours against Delhi Dynamos by committing two howlers which should have been dealt with properly.

When Lalhlimpuia shot the ball inside the six-yard box, Gurpreet made a complete mess of the situation by mishandling the ball. Since he misjudged the pace of the ball, the ball ended in the back of the net. It was an unexpected error from someone of his calibre.

Even though the third goal cannot be his fault entirely, he should have acted promptly to stop the shot from the Delhi striker. When Lalhlimpuia decided to shoot the ball, it took a tiny deflection off Albert Serran to see the net bulging. Even after the deviation, there was enough time for Gurpreet to get enough fist and parry the ball to a safer place.
