David Seaman likens Illan Meslier to 'Superman' after heroic display in Newcastle draw

David Seaman has likened Illan Meslier to 'Superman' following his heroic performance in Leeds United's goalless draw against Newcastle United at St James' Park.

Meslier produced five saves to keep just his third clean sheet of the season, as Leeds finished the year with an important point on New Year's Eve.

The 22-year-old had conceded 10 goals in his previous three outings prior to the Whites' trip to Tyneside. He also hadn't kept a clean sheet since October's goalless draw against Aston Villa at Elland Road.
