Rodrigo – a hard-working performance on the right but why was he not the penalty-taker? 7

Patrick Bamford – bereft of confidence, he worked hard but missed a penalty 4

Jack Harrison – a good performance and he played an important part in Ayling's goal but faded a little as the game went on and was substituted 6

Substitutes:

Adam Forshaw (for Greenwood, 46) – pity Leeds did not get more than a half out of him 6
