Ben Foster has labelled Illan Meslier's near-post misjudgement during Leeds United's 1-0 defeat to Everton on Saturday as a "mistake", as he claimed he would be apologising to his teammates in the dressing room after the match if he had been playing.
Seamus Coleman's speculative effort from an acute angle caught Meslier off-guard in the 64th minute at Goodison Park. It would prove to be the decisive moment in the match as the Toffees held on to claim all three points, with Sean Dyche's side moving ahead of Leeds in the table.
The Whites now sit just one point ahead of last-placed Southampton. The Saints make the trip to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon as the fixture schedule presents Javi Gracia with the chance to get his tenure off to the perfect start with a win in a vital clash in their relegation battle - should last-minute paperwork be completed.
