Dallas - 7: Helped Leeds get forward well in the first half. Defended well but struggled, along with a lot of his teammates, to contain the hosts in the second half.

Llorente - 7: Almost scored an unfortunate own goal as Heung-Min Son's cross struck his foot and hit the underside of the bar.

Phillips - 8: Did a superb job in the heart of the Leeds defence. Marshalled Harry Kane excellently.

Cooper - 6: Struggled in the second half after an impressive first.

Struijk - 7: Looked to be struggling with injuries through the first half but managed to see the game out.

Forshaw (Roberts 72) - 6: Considering how long he has spent on the sidelines, Forshaw has performed pretty well since returning to the side.

Klich (Firpo 59) - 7: Was quietly very good further up the pitch for Leeds. Was subbed off just after the equaliser.

James - 8: Scored the goal and forced Hugo Lloris into a number of second-half saves.
