A lot of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to gush over Illan Meslier after he kept his second league clean sheet in just his second Championship match.

The Frenchman made his league debut for the Whites in their 4-0 thrashing of Hull City.

What have you made of Meslier so far?

In this game, he only had to face two shots on target and received a 6/10 rating from the Yorkshire Evening Post. (Page one)

On Saturday, Meslier faced two shots on target again and had to make a good save to deny Trevoh Chalboah (0:48) and also Emile Smith Rowe. (2:49)

How long was Kiko Casilla banned for by the FA?

He spilt Rowe’s shot, but Gaetano Berardi ensured that the ball did not reach another Huddersfield Town player. (2:49)

However, despite this one spill, these Leeds fans are full of praise for Meslier.

What do we think?

The Frenchman, who is valued at £4.5m by Transfermarkt, could not have had a better start to his league career with Leeds – two games two clean sheets.

In our opinion, it doesn’t get any better than that.

He will likely be hoping that he can record his third next week as Leeds travel to Wales to face Cardiff City.
