‘Fuming’: Leeds player STORMED off pitch after what Illan Meslier did vs Sunderland, it is really PATHETIC

Leeds United’s Junior Firpo Fumes After Illan Meslier’s 97th-Minute Blunder

Leeds United’s thrilling 2-2 draw against Sunderland was marred by Illan Meslier’s devastating 97th-minute mistake, denying the Whites a monumental away victory.

Meslier’s error allowed Sunderland to equalize, overturning Junior Firpo’s second-half goal. According to journalist Graham Smyth, Firpo was visibly frustrated, storming off the pitch and down the tunnel at full-time.

Firpo’s reaction was understandable, having been seconds away from being Leeds’ match-winner. His goal, initially thought to be the winner, was later recorded as an own goal due to Meslier’s mistake.

Former Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling criticized Firpo’s reaction, suggesting he should have consoled Meslier instead. Stelling tweeted: “Would have been nice to see some Leeds players console Meslier a little more – notably Junior Firpo !! A terrible, terrible mistake but nobody feeling worse than the keeper.”

However, others on the Leeds team did offer support to Meslier, including Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris.

Key Points:

• Illan Meslier’s 97th-minute mistake cost Leeds United a 2-1 win against Sunderland.
