Rodon: Typical Rodon. No fuss. No problem. 7

Firpo: Given just a second start of the season. Threatened going forward at times. 6

Gruev: Handed a third start of the campaign. Put in a decent shift. 7

Gray: Passed up a good chance to put Leeds ahead, but did produce plenty of nice work after that. 7

Gnonto: Booked and should have earned Leeds a penalty before the break. Lively. Booked. 7

Piroe: Will have desperately wanted to get on the scoresheet and come to the party. 6

Anthony: Started for the first time since October 25. Went close to scoring a few times and enjoyed himself. 8

Bamford: Scored a goal which no-one present will forget. Sublime. Technique of the highest order. 9
