Sheffield Wednesday fans impressed by Kiko Casilla display for Leeds United
Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday played out a hard-fought draw in the Championship yesterday at Hillsborough.
Neither team could find the back of the net in a game where both goalkeepers came away with all the plaudits.
Keiren Westwood’s save from Patrick Bamford will be hard to top in the Championship all season but Leeds United’s stopper also had a big impact on proceedings.
Kiko Casilla made several crucial interventions, including a stunning save from Steven Fletcher’s half-volley in the first-half.

It was a performance that did not go unnoticed by plenty of the opposing fanbase. Several Sheffield Wednesday fans took to Twitter to highlight the former Spain international’s contribution to Leeds coming away with a 0-0 draw from this game.
Casilla has been in good form for Leeds United recently and it will certainly be welcomed by the club’s fans.
The former Real Madrid man received plenty of stick for his fault in the play-off semi-final defeat to Derby County last season and it has been a long road back toward rebuilding trust among the Elland Road fanbase.
Leeds fans will hope he continues to frustrate opponents throughout the rest of the campaign.
If it weren’t for Casilla we’d of score 3/4 today would’ve took a point before game but too play like we did and not come away with all 3 is a horrible feeling

Both keepers had good games, good to see Westwood make that kind of save. Casilla was terrific, should have got man of the match for me.

Much Better than the two abysmal games vs Cardiff and Stoke. Unlucky not to win it in the second half. Casilla was superb and kept Leeds in the game. Hope fully we can transpose that passion from the second half to each and every game from now on in.

Great save from Casilla to deny Fletcher who caught one sweetly on the edge of the box. 44 mins played 0-0

Been a bit of a lull for a while but Steven Fletcher has just warmed things up with a cracking effort from 20 yards that Casilla did well to get a fingertip to – excellent save

Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds United. Great advert for football. Only huge saves from Kiko Casilla and Keiren Westwood kept this game goalless. An entertaining game.
