'Bad judgement': A 5/10 for Leeds United player in ratings against Aston Villa - alongside a couple of 7/10s
HERE are the Leeds United player ratings from Sunday afternoon’s Premier League home game against Aston Villa at Elland Road.
Perri: Nervy moment after spilling Watkins’ shot and was then poorly positioned for Rogers’ free-kick. Bad judgement. 5
Bogle: Strong forceful first-half in particular. Booked for a bit of petulance. 6
Rodon: Handed the unenviable brief of policing Watkins and did well. Unlucky to be on losing side. 7
Struijk: Restored to the starting line-up. Busier in second half and cautioned for bringing down Barkley just outside the box, with the resulting free-kick putting Villa ahead. Went close to a late leveller. 6
Gudmundsson: Easy to see why he has become a crowd favourite in double-quick time. 7
Longstaff: His free-kick led to opener. Effective, mature performance from a real team man. 7
Ampadu: Big onus on him as Villa took hold of game in second half. Emptied tank. Booked. 6
Stach: Used his physicality for United’s breakthrough. But came off on 22 minutes. Looked groggy after falling heavily following Leeds’ goal. Carried on after a fair bit of treatment before eventually making way. 6
Aaronson: Non-stop and hard-running, but made some poor decisions in possession. 6
Nmecha: Buoyed by the early goal and put himself about. Selfless effort. 7
Okafor: Grew into the game and was game down the left and stretched Villa at times. But switched off for the visitors’ leveller. 6
Substitutes: Tanaka (Stach 22). Booked for a risky challenge on Kamara ahead of half-time. Later had the experience of being a substitute who was subbed. 6
Calvert-Lewin (Tanaka 70) 6.
James (Nmecha 70) 6.
Piroe (Aaronson 80).
Gnonto (Okafor 80).
Not used: Darlow, Bijol, Justin, Greuv.
