Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier has committed the howler of all howlers to allow Sunderland to snatch a point against his side in a Championship tussle Friday evening.

It was a highly-anticipated top-four clash in the Championship at the Stadium Light, and Leeds had appeared to come away with a superb victory heading into the final few seconds of the game.

But with a free-kick from the Sunderland half  to finish off the game, somehow the ball found its way back towards Meslier in the Leeds goal and through his legs to see Sunderland snatch a point in humiliating fashion at the death.

Leeds could have finished the night level on points with their opponents top of the table but will instead head into the weekend in third, as the bonus point at the death means Sunderland stay top of the tree for now.
