His reaction save saw him earn mass praise online with one fan lauding him for his improvement from last season.
I wanted keeper sacked and out of the club after last season but this season he has been magnificent.

The former Real Madrid man hasn’t always been a fan favourite among the Elland Road faithful, who slated him following his performance against Charlton Athletic this season.
The game against the Addicks wasn’t without controversy as he was charged by the FA over a racist incident with Charlton’s Jonathan Leko (via BBC).
Fans were left lauding the 33-year-old following his save from Kachunga as they took to Twitter to react.
Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:

Brillant shot stopper and passer of the ball. Fits perfectly into Bielsaball.
