Leeds United defender Kiko Casilla helped the Whites to a 2-0 away win at Barnsley.

The Spaniard was tested, with Barnsley having six shots on target at Oakwell.

Leeds scored two late goals, from Eddie Nketiah and then a Mateusz Klich penalty – and it was thanks to Casilla that they had the platform to do so.

Casilla sent a message to supporters on Instagram after the game, expressing his delight with the win and his own performance.

Leeds teammate Barry Douglas took the time to respond, with an amusing message complimenting his pal.

He wrote: “Your English is as good as your performance today.”

Douglas was on the bench for Leeds and is biding his time after suffering an injury in August.

He is a pretty good back-up to have right now, and while Casilla is keeping clean sheets, Leeds have little incentive to change their back four.
