Leeds United’s social media team poke fun at Sunderland with seven-word post after Illan Meslier drama
Leeds United’s social media team bit back on Monday after Sunderland’s post back in October
Leeds United’s social media team were quick to poke fun at Sunderland after Monday night’s game.
The Whites snatched a stoppage-time winner to deal Sunderland’s automatic promotion hopes a major blow at Elland Road. Sunderland had taken the lead through Wilson Isidor but the hosts dominated the second half entirely.

However, it was a brace from substitute Pascal Struijk which sealed the win for Daniel Farke’s side as they returned to the top of the Championship, with fellow sub Joe Rothwell also providing both assists for the central defender’s goal.
The club uploaded their own picture to X, with Struijk and Piroe celebrating the winner, with another teammate lying on the Elland Road pitch. Alongside the picture, Leeds United’s social media team wrote: “Not really sure what to caption this”.
The post was a response to Leeds’ last game against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light earlier this season. Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier produced a howler in October, allowing Alan Browne’s punt forward to pass him for the equalising goal. After the incident, Sunderland cheekily posted a video of the error on X and wrote: “Not really sure what to caption this.”
