Leeds United manager Javi Gracia has highlighted the 'ups-and-downs' his goalkeeper Illan Meslier has gone through after his performance against Leicester last night.
After conceding 18 goals across his previous five matches, the Frenchman came up with a big display against the Foxes, including a big double save that stopped Dean Smith's side from winning the match late on.
While many have been on the back of Meslier including both fans and pundits, including calls to replace him with Joel Robles for the rest of the season, the Leeds boss has stuck by his side.

"Of course, he's a great keeper," Gracia said at his post-match press conference after the draw. "But like all the players and even younger players come up and downs and you know this process is something you have to accept.
"In this moment it is hard sometimes because when someone makes some mistakes, all of us only see the bad things, but of course he's a very good keeper.
"All the players we have are good players, we only have to manage the moment, try to stay together and try to get the results we need until the end."
