Rotherham United star Will Vaulks has taken to Twitter to express his disappointment at his side’s defeat to Leeds United at home on Saturday afternoon.

The 25-year-old has also expressed his amazement at a wonderful save from Leeds goalkeeper Kiko Casilla during the Championship match, which the visiting team won 2-1.

In the 63rd minute, Vaulks, who can operate as a central midfielder or as a right-back, fired a shot at goal, but former Real Madrid goalkeeper Casilla made a brilliant save.

It was one of the saves of the weekend in the Championship and perhaps even one of the best saves of the season in the second tier of English football so far.

Vaulks has expressed his amazement at 32-year-old goalkeeper Casilla, who joined Leeds in the January transfer window after leaving Spanish and European giants Real Madrid, as announced on the Whites’ official website.

The win against Rotherham means that Leeds are now at the top of the Championship table with 57 points from 29 matches, just three points clear of second-placed Norwich City.
