If the Premier League continues to sell dreams to the whole world, the Championship has absolutely nothing to envy of it. And Illan Meslier came to confirm it.
Illan Meslier’s stroke of genius
Illan Meslier’s Leeds meet Régis Le Bris’ Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. Yes, we know very well what you are saying to yourself; Lorient influences the Championship. In the event of a victory, Leeds (3rd) had the possibility of regaining the leadership position from Sunderland. If Chris Rigg opened the scoring for the locals, the visitors were quick to react, and Piroe and Firpo doubled the lead to go ahead on the scoreboard (2-1).
THE Peacocks resisted as best they could the multiple assaults of Régis Le Bris’ men, then as the 90+7th minute played, the Leeds supporters said to themselves that the hardest part was done. But this was to misunderstand their last defense, in the person of Illan Meslier. On a completely innocuous ball which is heading straight towards his gloves, a sort of false bounce fools his vigilance. You guessed it, it’s enough to see the ball drop right next to his gloves, and go into the back of the net. Sunderland equalize in the 90+7th minute in a crucial match thanks to a gag goal. And it is obviously a Frenchman who plays the main role in this dramaturgy (or this comedy, it all depends on which club you are in).
