Leeds United player ratings as Struijk, James and Harrison struggle in typical Brighton display

Leeds United (4-2-3-1)

1 Illan Meslier

Held onto some decent drives in the first half, but really shone when he charged down Solly March's one vs one effort after the break. Fairly helpless for the goal. 7

25 Rasmus Kristensen

Had a torrid time dealing with Leandro Trossard. First half was punctuated with balls into his channel that put Brighton & Hove Albion in the box. Not much of a threat in the opposite direction either. 5

5 Robin Koch

Started with difficulty in his battle against Danny Welbeck, but steadied himself and the forward stopped being an outlet for the hosts. 6

14 Diego Llorente

Overcomplicated simple tasks and ran into bother too often. Passing was off. 5

21 Pascal Struijk

Had a wretched afternoon with March. Outpaced and outdone all afternoon. A game where he stood out as a centre-back playing out of position. 4

12 Tyler Adams

Did not have the same kind of impact on the game as last weekend. Brighton controlled the middle for long periods. 6

8 Marc Roca

A few nice flourishes from deep, but did not have any prolonged control on the middle of the park. 5

20 Daniel James

Some decent pressing, but threat to Brighton was non-existent. 4

7 Brenden Aaronson

Some neat dribbles in the second half when the shape was changed, but Brighton had him well marshalled throughout. 5

11 Jack Harrison

Joel Veltman controlled the winger all afternoon. 4

19 Rodrigo (c)

Some forlorn pressing on the backline, but no moments of real danger posed. 5

Substitutes

13 Kristoffer Klaesson

4 Adam Forshaw (on for Harrison 74min)

Tried to bring some order to the late surge. 6

10 Crysencio Summerville

23 Luis Sinisterra (on for James 59min)

Played his part in the good moments they had in the final quarter of the game. 6

30 Joe Gelhardt (on for Aaronson 82min)

Late change to turn the tide. N/A

33 Leo Hjelde

37 Cody Drameh

42 Sam Greenwood

43 Mateusz Klich (on for Roca 59min)

Did have an impact from the bench and something different for Brighton to deal with, but not enough to find a goal. 7
