Illan Meslier left Merseyside as the hero back in October. The Leeds United goalkeeper made nine saves at Anfield as the Whites produced one of the shock results of the season so far to beat Liverpool.
It was a performance that he has managed to replicate on a several occasions since, with Leeds relying on their French custodian all too often at times this season. He’s been the man United have turned to on a regular basis to keep them in games and he was in sensational form against the Reds before the World Cup break.
Meslier was left red-faced on his most recent trip to Liverpool this season, though, making the error that led to the only goal of the game as Leeds were beaten 1-0 by Everton at Goodison Park. In truth, it was a miserable performance from Michael Skubala’s Whites, one of their worst of the campaign so far and Meslier wasn’t the only man at fault, with Leeds underperforming both collectively and individually.
