Leeds United overcame Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon, and Illan Meslier shone once again in goal.

The Whites were completely dominant throughout the game and well worth the 3-1 victory.

Well-worked goals from Dallas, Bamford, and Rodrigo sealed a win that takes Leeds into the top-half.

Illan Meslier was once again impressive in goals as he kept Harry Kane and co largely at bay.

It was a great moment for Meslier to showcase his talents against the man he’s looking to emulate in Hugo Lloris.

Meslier looks destined for international representation at some point in the not-too-distant future and he spoke to the current France skipper after the game.

Lloris won’t be pleased with how the game went but he’s clearly an admirer of Meslier’s progress at Elland Road.

Meslier took to Instagram after the game to share his thoughts on having a chat with Lloris:

I think Meslier is certain to get a France call up soon with the ‘keepers currently there ageing.

He’s been outstanding this season and only getting better as well.

With a full season under his belt, we could be looking at a phenomenal goalkeeper in seasons to come.

Lloris clearly knows that and took time to speak to the young talent post-match.
