'Brilliant': BBC pundit wowed by what 21-year-old Leeds player did v Wolves

BBC Sport pundit Clinton Morrison has praised Leeds United substitute goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson for his late save against Wolves.

Jesse Marsch’s Whites ran out 3-2 winners at Molineux in one of the most dramatic Premier League games of the season.

Leeds were 2-0 down at half time, with Jonny opening the scoring on 26 minutes and Francisco Trincao netting in the 11th minute of injury time.

However, the Elland Road outfit halved the deficit in the 63rd minute through Jack Harrison.

The 25-year-old scored on the rebound after Luke Ayling threatened the Molineux goal.

Just four minutes later, Leeds drew level as Rodrigo Moreno pounced on a loose ball after a Romain Saiss error.

And in injury time, the impressive Ayling slammed home following more chaotic scenes in the Wolves box.

Scoreline and goalmouth action aside, the game also multiple injury-enforced substitutions.

One of those saw Leeds first-choice goalkeeper Illan Meslier come off after a collision with Jimenez, who was sent off.

Klaesson came on in the Frenchman’s place for his competitive first-team debut for the Whites.

The 21-year-old performed admirably, making a superb late save to thwart Trincao.

“What a save. It’s brilliant play,” Morrison said on BBC Radio 5 Live (18/3/22, 22:05).

“For the sub goalkeeper who did not think he was coming on – brilliant save.”

Klaesson joined Leeds from Valerenga in July 2021 for a fee reportedly in excess of £1million.

The result sees Marsch’s charges go seven points clear of the Premier League relegation zone.
