A lot of Leeds United fans love a video of Illan Meslier celebrating the goals from the Whites’ 3-2 comeback win over Millwall.
The camera is pointed at the Leeds dugout and shows Marcelo Bielsa motionless for Patrick Bamford’s first (0:03), but the French goalkeeper leaps out of his seat and punches the air.
Is this what you want to see from Meslier?
Yes
No
For the second goal, Bielsa is stood up, and fist pumps (0:25) while Meslier comes flying out of the dugout and attempts to encourage the crowd.
The noise from the Elland Road faithful is also very impressive.
For the winner, Bielsa remains pretty clam (0:55) as the rest of his backroom staff lose their minds, and Meslier once again leaps from the bench and then starts interacting with the crowd.
It is brilliant to see that this 19-year-old on loan at the club has that much passion for Leeds’ promotion challenge, and it has gone down brilliantly on twitter with many Whites supporters.

What do we think?
This was a massive win for Leeds, and it is good to see that it meant so much to everyone connected with the club and not just those on the pitch.
Meslier, who is valued at £4.5m by Transfermarkt, has played once for the Whites, but he showed exactly the sort of passion that fans love to see.
