Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United won against Rotherham United at the weekend.
Casilla made his debut for Leeds in their 2-1 victory over Rotherham away from home in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
The 32-year-old goalkeeper played well for the Whites and produced a brilliant save in the 63rd minute when he denied Rotherham star Will Vaulks.
Leeds head coach Bielsa was impressed with the performance of the former Real Madrid goalkeeper, who moved to the Whites in the January transfer window.
Bielsa told Leeds Live about Casilla: “He didn’t have a lot of work to do. He had mid-distance finishing.
“And he had some aerial game at the end of the game, and from my point of view it was very difficult to avoid the goal we conceded. He had a balanced performance.”
Meanwhile, former Leeds striker Noel Whelan has praised Tyler Roberts for his performance against Rotherham.
Roberts did not start the match, but the 20-year-old striker came on as a substitute at the start of the second half.
Whelan said on BBC Radio Leeds about Roberts: “I said at half time that the only one who could have an impact, and he had a little bit of an impact against Stoke last week.
“He looked bright and lively, getting on the ball, linking up play with the midfield players, and more to the point, linking up play with Kemar Roofe.”
