A lot of Leeds United fans have compared Fulham goalkeeper Marek Rodak to Kiko Casilla after footage emerged of a dreadful error he made during Barnsley’s 3-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Phil Hay shared the video, (Via the Sky Bet Championship) which shows a long ball played forward to the Tykes’ Jacob Brown. Rodak comes charging off his line to try and make a block, and Brown slots the ball underneath the Fulham goalkeeper.
Who is the worse goalkeeper?
Rodak
Casilla
This has led to many Leeds fans comparing Rodak to Casilla.

What do we think?
Rodak will certainly not want to see this footage again, and he was also pretty hopeless for the other two goals Scott Parker’s men conceded – as he first gave away a penalty (0:10) and was then beaten at his near post. (2:05)
Casilla, on the other hand, kept a clean sheet and earned a 7/10 rating from the Yorkshire Evening Post for his performance against Bristol City.
Fulham’s defeat was a major shock as Barnsley had only won one match away from home all season in the league, and they turned up and rolled Fulham over in their own backyard.
It was a fantastic result from Leeds’ point of view as it allowed them to open up a three-point lead on Fulham.
