Football Insider rates the Leeds players after their 3-0 win against Rotherham in the Championship on Monday afternoon.

Rob Green 7 - Made the all-important saves when called upon, helping his side to a vital clean sheet.

Luke Ayling 7 - Didn't put a foot wrong in the defence, while also putting some troublesome balls into the box from his good forward runs.

Pontus Jansson 6 - Helped his side keep a clean sheet in a solid display against Rotherham. It was only right that he marked his 20th appearance for the club with no goals conceded.

Kyle Bartley 8 - Helped command the defence and made a crucial slide tackle in the first half to stop Joe Newell going one-on-one with Green. Scored the opening goal with a powerful header from a corner.

Gaetano Berardi 6 - Was overall solid, but he's far from the long-term replacement for Charlie Taylor.

Liam Bridcutt 8 - Helped dictate play in the middle of the park with strong tackles, while also looking comfortable on the ball. Provided the assist for the second goal with a good cross.

Hadi Sacko 5 - The 22-year-old speed merchant was totally out of sorts and was rightly replaced by Vieira at half-time.

Pablo Hernandez 7 - The 31-year-old proved his class at Elland Road after returning to the line-up after injury. Assisted the opening goal with a deep corner, which was met by the head of Bartley.

Kemar Roofe 6 - Struggled to pose a consistent threat to a poor defence, but a moment of class laid Wood's second goal of the match on a plate.

Souleymane Doukara 5 - The Frenchman fell back into a wide role with the return of Wood, but he was wasteful with a number of chances before being brought off in the second half

Chris Wood 8 - In his first start after injury the New Zealand international was quiet, but he was in the right places to put home two goals for his side.
