Illan Meslier’s mistake against Sunderland cost Leeds United a vital three points but Chris Sutton believes what Junior Firpo did after the full-time whistle was worst.
The French goalkeeper failed to stop a simple ball back to him, allowing Sunderland to draw 2-2 and take a point from a game Leeds should’ve won.
And reacting furiously with his number one, full-back Firpo, who thought he’d scored Leeds’ winner 40 minutes earlier, stormed off down the tunnel at the full-time whistle.

“That’s not a good teammate.
“I didn’t realise Firpo is [Paolo] Maldini at left-back. I’ve seen him make plenty of mistakes. You’ve got to stick together. I would’ve gone and given the goalkeeper a hug.”
