Illan Meslier’s injury-time howler on Friday evening cost Leeds two points and the opportunity to leapfrog Sunderland at the top of the table. Alan Browne’s hopeful pass into the box veered goalward via the head of Junior Firpo in what should have been a routine save for the Frenchman.

A costly mistake from Meslier gifted the Black Cats an equaliser in the dying seconds of stoppage time as Alan Browne’s attempted cross brushed off Junior Firpo’s head and the ball bounced past the goalkeeper as he tried to collect it.
