The Leeds United goalkeeper has gone from strength to strength under Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road this season.
A number of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Kiko Casilla being named in the latest EFL Team of the Week.
At the weekend, the Elland Road side played out a battling 0-0 draw with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough in the Championship, and the Whites goalkeeper played a major role in claiming the point.
Casilla made his mark on the game right from the off when he rushed out of his box in the first minute to clear a loose pass in behind his defence, before going on to parry away dangerous efforts from Liam Palmer and Steven Fletcher.
There was also a stroke of luck going his way when a second-half shot from Fletcher came off the woodwork and rebounded off Casilla’s back for a corner, from which nothing came, and come the final whistle he maintained his clean sheet.
As a result, he was named best goalkeeper out of all the teams in action, and some Leeds fans praised the news:
Casilla, who arrived at Elland Road from Real Madrid back in January, has made 16 appearances for Leeds this season, keeping eight clean sheets and conceding just 10 goals in all competitions (Transfermarkt).
