(Reuters) - Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has defended goalkeeper Illan Meslier after the Frenchman suffered a nightmare game in the 3-0 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. Spurs’ opener came from a wayward pass from Meslier, which was picked off by Harry Winks before Ezgjan Alioski clipped Steven Bergwijn inside the penalty area. Meslier then fumbled Toby Alderweireld’s header over the line in the second-half following a Son Heung-min corner kick. “What we have to look at is how the goalkeeper performs in all the fixtures, not in one game,” Bielsa told reporters. Our opponents created only a few more chances than us which came about through errors that we could have avoided,” Bielsa said.
