Leeds United's clash with Brentford in February 2020 will be remembered by many as a game of goalkeeping blunders at both ends of the Griffin Park pitch. A disastrous mistake from Kiko Casilla, letting a routine pass back from captain Liam Cooper roll under his foot, allowed Brentford's Said Benrahma to open the scoring with a tap-in for the Londoners.
