Liam Cooper – conceded a couple of dangerous fouls but got away with it 6

Stuart Dallas – one lovely ball James did not take full advantage of 6

Raphinha – the man who made you think that no matter how Leeds played, they could score and he did, with a beauty 8

Rodrigo – beat his team-mate in the goal-of-the-match competition 7

Jack Harrison – started as an ill-at-ease centre-forward before switching with Dan James, he was never as effective as he can be 6

Dan James – spent a lot of time at centre-forward and did not look comfortable there, although he played a great ball for the opening goal from there 6

Adam Forshaw (for James, 78) – energetic when he came on in midfield 6

Tyler Roberts (for Rodrigo, 88) – N/A
