Leeds United 0 Wolverhampton Wanderers 1 - player ratings

Some of the Whites' first-half football was excellent, but did not translate into enough shots on target, never mind a goal.

Let off for 45 minutes, Wolves came back to win the game 1-0 with a Raul Jimenez shot headed past Illan Meslier for the only goal of the game.

Chief football writer assesses how the home players performed.

Illan Meslier – made some good saves but Kalvin Phillips' header snookered him for the goal 7

Luke Ayling – got forward well in the first half, less so in the second, reflecting the shifted balance of power 7

Robin Koch – a couple of important block 7

Pascal Struijk – substituted after injuring himself slipping to open the door for the goal 6

Stuart Dallas – did a really good tactical job 7

Kalvin Phillips – his header was the unfortunate decisive moment 6

Helder Costa – outstanding work-rate at right wing-back 7

Mateusz Klich – an excellent early pass, but Wolves turned the midfield battle around in the second half 6

Rodrigo – a beautiful backheel but like his team, could not find the net 7

Jack Harrison – the attacks were concentrated down the other side when Leeds were on top 6

Patrick Bamford – no chances fell to him, although he was involved in Leeds's best move 6

Substitutes:

Ian Poveda (for Costa, 71) – did not get hold of a late shot properly 6

Pablo Hernandez (for Struijk, 76) – also had a shot deflected over 6

Raphinha (for Harrison, 82) – made a chance on his debut 6.

Not used: Alioski, Roberts, Casilla, Shackleton.
