Leeds United ramped up the pressure in the Championship title race with a rampant victory on Sunday afternoon, which moved them to within one point of the league leaders.

The west Yorkshire outfit slammed four past local rivals Hull City on the same afternoon West Brom were defeated by Wigan Athletic.

Marcelo Bielsa was forced into one change following Kiko Casilla’s suspension the evening before, it meant a first league start was handed to on-loan goalkeeper Illan Meslier, and fans were thrilled with his impact.

While Luke Ayling, Pablo Hernandez and super-sub Tyler Roberts found the net at one end of the pitch, the 20-year-old was holding his own at the other.

Here’s what fans have been saying…

The rave reviews of the Frenchmen were never-ending, clearly, he’s already left a firm mark on sections of the Whites faithful.

Fans were calling him everything from “world class” to “formidable” while one supporter claimed that he would become a Leeds legend if he were to help steer them to the Premier League.

His numbers from the match reflect such opinions too as he saved both of Hull’s shots on target whilst he also managed to high claim twice and had a passing success rate of 72%, per SofaScore, who handed him a 7.4 rating too.

It was Meslier’s second appearance of the season after facing Arsenal in the FA Cup last month.

Plenty would love to see the shot-stopper stick around next season, irrespective of the division they are in.

While some hinted at how big his future is, claiming that he could become Leeds’ number one for years to come and once again there was a suggestion that he could become a legend at Elland Road.
