Leeds United boss reserves special praise for this under-pressure star

Leeds United boss Thomas Christiansen has suggested that he was pleased with the performance of under-fire goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald against Norwich City during the weekend.

The German international who arrived at Elland Road during the summer has yet to convince many fans of the club that he is worthy of being the clubs long-term first choice keeper.

Wiedwald is a good keeper who has made mistakes this season including one against Queens Park Rangers earlier on this month despite the fact that the Whites went on to win the game 3-1.

Christiansen however has said that he was pleased with the way in which the goalkeeper played during the weekend as Leeds went on to win the game 1-0.

“Well, Felix has improved a lot,” Christiansen told Leeds Live when asked about Wiedwald’s performance. “And he also showed his character because after the QPR, the mistake he made, he saved the team.

“And today he went out, he made very good saves and another clean sheet on his account so he may be one of the best goalkeepers in this league referring to the clean sheets.”
