Leeds United player ratings as defenders star despite dominant FA Cup win over Norwich City
Leeds United made comfortable progress into their first FA Cup quarter-final for 23 years.
The Whites were 3-0 winners over a Norwich City side who never really threatened their place in the last eight after the first 15 minutes or so.
Lucas Perri – had little to do 6
Sebastiaan Bornauw – unable to hide the fact he was out of position at right-back, and subbed at half-time 6
Jaka Bijol – a dominant display defensively to push his case for a Premier League recall 8
Ethan Ampadu – played some lovely passes from central defence 7
Gabriel Gudmundsson – his first Leeds goal was followed by his first Leeds assist in an excellent display 8
Sean Longstaff – a beautiful goal in a hard-working performance 7
Ao Tanaka – looked much more like the real Tanaka than he had at Birmingham City in the previous round 7
Daniel James – his pace caused Norwich problems, his end product less so 7
Joel Piroe – linked the play well and curled in a lovely finish 8
Willy Gnonto – caused lots of problems getting in behind Norwich 7
Lukas Nmecha – lots of good link-up play, will be frustrated he did not take any of his chances, though 7
Substitutes:
James Justin (for Bornauw, HT) – improved things at right-back 6
Anton Stach (for Tanaka, 70) – Leeds were better after the triple substitution he was part of 6
Pascal Struijk (for Longstaff, 70) – decent on the ball 6
Jayden Bogle (for James, 70) – did a job on the right wing 6
Sam Byram (for Gudmundsson, 86) – N/A
