Gaetano Berardi: Kept his discipline, but beaten by O’Brien for the opener and would recall the game particularly fondly. 6

Pontus Jansson: Toiled in the first half especially as Millwall enjoyed a beano and he and his defensive cohorts lacked conviction all game. 5.

Liam Cooper: Spoke ahead of the game of the need for discipline. But his afternoon ended early after being penalised for a high challenge on Saville, which left the away bench incensed. 4.

Laurens De Bock: Decent debut and showed promise going forward. Not the defensive start he would have wanted, mind. 6

Ezgjan Alioski: Showed little flashes and displayed spirit on the restart, at least. 6.

Ronaldo Vieira: Taken off just before the interval as Leeds brought on Pennington to shore it up at the back. Outmuscled by Morison for the second goal. 5.

Kalvin Phillips: Another booking and now close to a ban. Difficult first half, but kept at it in the second. 6

Pablo Hernandez: At the heart of Leeds’ stirring second-half renaissance as Leeds’ offensive players fed off the crowd. 7

Kemar Roofe: Bundled in the leveller and much more involved in second half. 7

Pierre-Michel Lasogga: See-saw game. Two gilt-edged first half misses, but two excellent second-half strikes. Could and perhaps should have taken home the match-ball. 7

Substitutes: Matthew Pennington (Vieira 43). Solid enough, but blinked at the death. 5

Stuart Dallas (Roofe 74): 6
