Illan Meslier's terrible play continued, as his two goalkeeping errors caused Leeds to lose 2-1 against Fulham to open their crucial week in the relegation battle. Nearing the hour mark of a tight match that was at 0-0, the Frenchman palmed a cross from Willian straight to Harry Wilson, who slammed it in to score the game's first goal. Just 15 minutes later, he parried a cross from Antonee Robinson to Andreas Pereira, who finished easily from close range.
Leeds' Joao Palhinha scored an own goal after Patrick Bamford came off the bench, and while Meslier saved face by brilliantly heading Willian's free-kick into the crossbar, his powerful palms came too late. Leeds is still in the thick of the relegation battle with 29 points after three straight losses. Gracia declined to critique specific individuals, like Meslier, but claims to have serious problems.
