Leeds player ratings v Rotherham: Defender stars

By Dominic Toner

Football Insider rates the Leeds players after their 2-1 away victory against Rotherham in Saturday’s Championship match.

Rob Green 6 - Looked composed in possession and showed good distribution, but was left helpless for the Rotherham goal.

Luke Ayling 6 - Another assured performance in defence but could have pushed on to support the winger.

Kyle Bartley 6 - Composed performance but lost Rotherham striker Danny Ward for their late goal.

Liam Cooper 6 - Stood in well for the suspended Pontus Jansson and was strong in his aerial battles.

Charlie Taylor 8 - The defender had the better of Rotherham full-back Stephen Kelly all evening and showed his attacking qualities. Assisted Chris Wood’s goal after dribbling into the box.

Kalvin Phillips 6 - Could have been smarter with his passes in the final third, but once again showed consistency from set-pieces.

Eunan O’Kane 6 - Spent a lot of the game in possession and was wasteful on several occasions.

Hadi Sacko 6 - Attempted several good looking dribbles but could have exploited playing against 10 men much better.

Kemar Roofe 7 - More comfortable in a number 10 position and assisted Souleymane Doukara after a smart turn.

Souleymane Doukara 7 - Took his goal well with a left footed shot into the bottom corner and showed his great pace during the game.

Chris Wood 7 - Was fairly quiet in the game but opened the scoring in the first-half with a calm finish, the sign of a great striker.

Stuart Dallas (for Souleymane Doukara 63mins) 6

Marcus Antonsson (for Kemar Roofe 73mins) 5
