Leeds boss Jesse Marsch is delighted with the way Ilan Meslier has responded to his challenges.

Meslier was one of Leeds United's heroes on Saturday night as the Whites saw off Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield to claim their first win since August and climb out of the relegation zone.

Marsch was understandably keen to hail the 22-year-old after the game.

“What I always say about goalkeepers is I can give them tutelage on presence and mentality and how to handle moments, how to be the quarterback of the team but the technical aspect of what I can teach him, that I have to leave up to the goalkeeper coach," he said.

“We needed Illan, I've been pushing him to continue to grow to be a bigger presence, to be savvier and understand how to handle big moments and certainly today he did that. He did that really well so it was really important."
