Leeds United U21s player ratings as Rutter, Joseph and Mullen stand out in play-off final win

Dani Van den Heuvel: Had literally nothing to do for 45 minutes but was alert in the second half to pull off a couple of fine saves. 7

Kris Moore: Took his goal well, handled everything Forest threw down his flank and looked comfortable. 8

Jeremiah Mullen: Produced a goal of the season contender in the first half, volleying home a Charlie Allen free-kick. Didn’t put a foot wrong defensively. 9

Diogo Montiero: Steady away alongside Mullen. Handled Forest’s attack well and ended the season on a high. 8

Charlie Allen: A livewire throughout. Allowed to get forward at will at times given he wasn’t challenged defensively at all. 8

Darko Gyabi: A typically classy display in the middle of the park. He’ll surely be playing first-team football next season. 8

Archie Gray: A strong performance from the midfielder. Showed his talent at times and never lacked energy. 8

Sean McGurk: Threatening in attacking areas, picked up the assist for Moore’s goal and terrified his opposite man. 8

Mateo Joseph: A captain’s performance before he goes away with England U20s to the World Cup. Never stopped running and always looked to create. 9

Sonny Perkins: Touches of excellence to end what has been a remarkable first year at the club on a high. 8

Georginio Rutter: Arguably Leeds’ most threatening player. Scored his first goal in White and would have had a couple of others if not for Forest keeper Aaron Bott. 9

Morten Spencer (McGurk 78): Came on when the game was won. 7

Luca Thomas (Rutter 78): Dug out a couple of chances but couldn’t find the back of the net.7

Connor Ferguson (Allen 84): N/A

James Debayo (Joseph 84): N/A

Harry Christy (van den Heuvel 89): Produced the save of the night. N/A
