A selection of Chelsea fans on Twitter heaped praise on goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for his splendid performance against Leeds United on Saturday.

The Blues went into the game with the chance to do the Premier League double over the Whites for the first time since the 1936/37 campaign.

However, they could not do so as they settled for a goalless draw and needed to thank Mendy, who made two top-class saves.

The Senegalese international came up with a sublime finger-tip save to deflect Tyler Robert’s shot onto the crossbar in the first half.

Before the hour mark, he produced the moment of the match. Raphinha shot on the turn took a deflection which saw Mendy wrong-footed.

However, the 29-year-old managed to shift his weight and got a strong left hand to claw the attacker’s shot away from goal.

His performance delighted a number of the club’s faithful, and here are some of the reactions on Twitter.
