Illan Meslier sends message to Leeds fans after key development

Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier was delighted with a "great result" in their 3-1 Championship win over Middlesbrough on Tuesday (December 10).

Meslier, 24, completed the full 90 minutes against Middlesbrough, finishing the game with two saves, four recoveries, and 32 touches.

Wilfried Gnonto opened the scoring at Elland Road after just 14 minutes as Leeds went into half-time 1-0 up against Michael Carrick's side.

Max Wober's own goal leveled the scoring just after the break before Daniel James restored their lead in the 74th minute.

American attacking midfielder Brenden Aaronson secured all three points in added time, sending Daniel Farke's side to the top of the Championship table.

Sheffield United have the opportunity to leapfrog their fellow Yorkshire club as they travel to Millwall on Wednesday (December 11).
