Ratings: 'Technique of the highest order': A 9 for one Leeds United player + two 8s and several 7s in FA Cup win at Peterborough
HERE are the Leeds United player ratings from Sunday afternoon’s FA Cup tie against Peterborough United at London Road.
Klaesson: Protected pretty well. One decent second-half save with his feet. 6
Shackleton: First appearance since October 28. Struggled at times against Mason-Clark in first half. 6
Ampadu: Switched to centre-half and was on message, as per. Two maiden goals for the club and an assist. 8
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
Substitutes: Ayling (Shackleton 78): First action since November 3. 6.
Kamara (Bamford 86); James (Gnonto 86); Poveda (Anthony 86); Joseph (Piroe 90).
