A lot of Leeds United fans reacted to Graham Smyth’s tweet about Kiko Casilla in the 90th minute.
The Whites were leading 3-2 when Millwall won a corner, and instead of it ending up as an equaliser, Casilla came out and caught the ball.
Was this a significant moment in the match?
Yes
No
The fact the former Real Madrid goalkeeper did this went down brilliantly on Twitter with these Whites fans.
Casilla catches the corner.
3-2

What do we think?
The Lions’ first goal came from a corner (0:10), so it was no surprise to see so many anxious Whites supporters when Millwall were awarded the corner-kick.
However, Casilla, who is valued at £2.7m by Transfermarkt, dealt with the danger well and ensured that Leeds did not throw away their lead.
The Whites fought back superbly from 2-0 down to secure a 3-2 victory with Patrick Bamford scoring a double and Pablo Hernandez with the other.
This was a significant result for Marcelo Bielsa’s men as it moved them four points clear of third.
