Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke admits he has never experienced a moment like Illan Meslier's mistake against Sunderland.
Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke said Illan Meslier was "in tears" after the goalkeeper's glaring mistake cost his side victory at Sunderland.with the minimum six minutes of added time already up, the Frenchman allowed Alan Browne's hopeful ball into the box to squirm past him and gift the Black Cats a 2-2 draw.
The Leeds boss suggested captain Pascal Struijk had seen the ball bounce unkindly in front of his goalkeeper, causing Meslier to let it spin past him. "Pascal came over and said he had never seen anything like this. He said it bounced and jumped in the other direction because there was a mark on the pitch.
Meslier used to play at the Lorient academy in his native France under the tutelage of Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris.
