Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – David Raya – 7/10 – had one header to save from Pascal Struijk but that was it.

RB – Jurrien Timber – 7/10 – the Dutchman should have had an assist for Jesus, who headed straight at Darlow. He also missed with a header himself from a corner.

CB – William Saliba – 8/10 – the in-form Dominic Calvert-Lewin did not get any change out of him. A very impressive display.

CB – Gabriel – 8/10 – ditto with the Brazilian, who made several clearances and ensured Leeds’ long ball tactics weren’t effective.

LB – Piero Hincapie – 6/10 – you can tell the Ecuadorian is more of a centre-half than a fullback. Solid defensively but offered little going forward.
