Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa defended goalkeeper Illan Meslier after defeat to Tottenham.

Meslier made one glaring error as Leeds lost 3-0 in London.

Bielsa said, "What we have to look at is how the goalkeeper performs in all the fixtures, not in just one game.

"The question that you're asking is about an undeniable error. But if you look back at all our games you will see how efficient Illan is with his feet.

"And if compare with the efficiency of other goalkeepers, making a relationship between completed passes and errors because if the goalkeeper receives the ball and just kicks it long into the opponents' half he cannot make an error. So I think the question you ask comes with an error in your conclusion."
