Graham Potter has praised Jason Steele after his Premier League debut.

The goalkeeper made some decent saves and was helpless when Villa scored twice late on.

He replaced the suspended Robert Sanchez, who will be available when Leeds visit the Amex on Saturday.

Potter said of Steele: “He was excellent. Did everything we asked of him, made some saves, good with his feet, helped the team. Really happy with him.

"I didn't think he deserved to be on the losing team."
