Leeds fans have been heaping praise upon Felix Wiedwald after the goalkeeper’s performance in their narrow victory over Norwich City that moves them to the verge of the play-off places in the Championship.
Wiedwald has come in for a lot of criticism since his summer arrival from Werder Bremen – despite keeping six clean sheets in his first seven games for the Whites.
After returning to the side having been dropped earlier in the season, it appeared that the 27-year-old may have possibly begun to turn a corner at Leeds, but questions were once again raised during the win over Queens Park Rangers last week when the home side’s goal came from a mistake from the stopper.
However, he largely responded in brilliant fashion at Elland Road this weekend, helping Leeds secure a 1-0 win over Norwich to move themselves within one point of the top six.
The German made a number of important saves during the contest, and his distribution received a lot of praise from the supporters on social media after the game.
