Leeds United player ratings: 'Masterful', 'leader of pack' - Some key high marks versus Spurs
HERE are the Leeds United player ratings from Saturday lunch-time’s Premier League home game against Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road.
Trafford: No first-half dramas this time. Big late save to deny Van Hecke. 7
Justin: Had to stay alert as Spurs threatened down his channel in first half. 7
Elvedi: Mindful, strong and competitive. Nodded a good chance wide in second half. 8
Muharemovic: Nothing fancy, made the right decisions. 8
Bogle: Heaved a sign of relief when the red card check went his way on 37 minutes. Looked accidental, as opposed to dangerous on Tel. Sloppy in possession in first half, better after. 6
Ampadu: Fired over from distance in opening period. Drove Leeds on in second period. Masterful. 8
Longstaff: Handed his first league start in almost a year. Booked in the first half. Denied a goal by a fine save on restart. 7
Tanaka: A few tenacious early challenges curried favour. Missed a huge second-half chance. Kept at it. 7
Gudmundsson: Spurs were mindful of his threat. But exited the fray at the break, presumably with an injury issue. 6
Nmecha: Handed his maiden Premier League start of 26-27. Game but nothing really dropped, apart from one-half half-chance. 6
Calvert-Lewin: Fought it out with Van der Veen and co and won the battle in second half when he was excellent. Leader of the pack. 8
Substitutes: Bard (Gudmundsson HT). Impressive contribution. 8
Wilson (Tanaka 77). Neat touch for winner. 7
Okafor (Nmecha 77). Grabbed the glory. 8
Greuv (Longstaff 93).
Rodon (Bogle 93)
Not used: Zetterer, James, Aaronson, Bijol.
