Leeds United are sitting top of the Championship table following their win against Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Kiko Casilla has expressed his delight on Instagram at Leeds United sealing a ‘great week’ as they have picked up nine points from three matches.

Racing Santander keeper, Luca Zidane, who played with Casilla at Real Madrid, labelled his former teammate as ‘magic’, as the Leeds man secured a clean sheet against Middlesbrough yesterday.

Leeds put four past their former player and now Boro manager, Jonathan Woodgate, whose team didn’t stand a chance against Marcelo Bielsa’s rampant forward line.

During the past week, Leeds have picked up three wins from three, and with it, to the delight of Casilla secured two clean sheets.

This is the message Casilla sent from his personal Instagram account after Leeds’ win, as Zidane and Casilla’s former teammates sent these messages to the Whites goalkeeper:

Leeds are currently sitting top of the Championship tree, but they can be overtaken by West Brom, who face off against Preston North End on Monday night.

This time last season, Leeds had started off the first half campaign in a strong fashion, but they dropped towards the second half of the season.

That will be the big test for Marcelo Bielsa and his players, who will no doubt have that extra fire in their belly in trying to put the wrongs of last season right.
