Leeds United player ratings with Harrison, Aaronson and Rodrigo poor in Fulham loss

Leeds United (4-2-3-1)

1 Illan Meslier

Should have done a lot better with the equaliser, but redeemed himself with a huge stop to deny Andreas Pereira from a one-on-one situation at 1-1 in the first half. 6

2 Luke Ayling

Had to do better with the equaliser. Lost Aleksandar Mitrovic all too easily at a corner. Schoolboy defending. Only seemed to impact the attacking side of the game more in the second half. 4

5 Robin Koch

One of the goal-saving stops of the season as he slid to deny Andreas Pereira a certain strike on the line. Pretty solid elsewhere too. Dealt with Mitrovic when he had to and covered well on occasions Leeds were caught short. 7

6 Liam Cooper (c)

Dealt with Mitrovic well from open play. No huge errors. Solid. 6

21 Pascal Struijk

Kept Harry Wilson silent on his first start of the season. Carelessly ignored Bobby De Cordova-Reid for the second away goal. 5

42 Sam Greenwood

Chucked in after Tyler Adams's injury. Did okay. A couple of crunching tackles, but no real bearing on the match. 5

8 Marc Roca

Massive initial block on the line in the first half. Some decent passes out to Luis Sinisterra, but didn't control the game for the Whites. 6

11 Jack Harrison

Didn't bother Fulham's defence in any sustained way. 4

7 Brenden Aaronson

Not at the level of his previous two matches. Helpfully quick feet in tight spaces, but his decisions didn't hurt Fulham enough. 5

23 Luis Sinisterra

Again carried the attack on his own with ingenuity and touches of brilliance. 6

19 Rodrigo

Right place, right time for the goal, but failed to pick the defence apart. 5

Substitutes

13 Kristoffer Klaesson

3 Junior Firpo

9 Patrick Bamford (on for Rodrigo 64min)

Saw similar chances to last weekend's game with Arsenal, but crowded out a lot. 5

10 Crysencio Summerville (on for Sinisterra 64min)

Finally some of the dribbling ability we have seen with the under-21s, but not at a high enough level to torment Fulham for long periods. 6

14 Diego Llorente

18 Darko Gyabi

25 Rasmus Kristensen

30 Joe Gelhardt (on for Struijk 85min)

Late change as the walls closed in. N/A

43 Mateusz Klich (on for Greenwood 76min)

A reaction to the second goal. N/A
