A much needed win sees Leeds head back to the top of the table!

Bailey Peacock-Farrell – 7 – Had nothing to do all game until an Ayling mistake late on which forced a good save, Ipswich were extremely poor.

Into the defence…

Luke Ayling – 7 – Solid performance from Ayling other than the late error, sadly we didn’t get to see him going forward too much due to the Berardi injury.

Stuart Dallas – 7 – A much better showing from Dallas tonight, got forward well.

Gaetano Berardi – 4 – Could have been sent off before he was injured, not ideal for Berardi tonight.

Liam Cooper – 9 – Dealt with the very limited amount he had to do in defence well, played some nice passes and topped it off with a beautiful finish on his weak foot.

Kalvin Phillips – 9 – Absolutely ran the show tonight, I don’t remember a misplaced pass from him. Lovely dummy for Cooper’s goal too.

Gjanni Alioski – 7 – A solid showing from left-back, almost scored with a beauty and should have scored soon after that.

Tom Pearce – 6 – Didn’t look out-of-place but didn’t see too much of the ball either.

Into the midfield…

Matuesz Klich – 8 – Linked up play nicely in the middle, he’s become a massively important player for us this season.

Samu Saiz – 6 – He’s becoming increasingly ineffective at the moment, a nice ball here or there but the end product is lacking. Should have scored tonight.

Adam Forshaw – 7 – Looked great when he came on, improved Leeds’ fluidity in the final third and could actually be an option if Saiz needs a little rest.

Into the attack…

Pablo Hernandez – 9 – Leeds are such a better team when Pablo is on the pitch, his final ball is 10x better than anyone else in a Leeds shirt. Great to watch.

Jack Harrison – 4 – A ghost out there tonight, didn’t get into the game at all.

Kemar Roofe – 8 – Great linkup play and a real strikers finish from Roofe tonight which is what we’ve been missing recently. He and Pablo are a great pair.

Shaky at times but Leeds got the job done tonight, it probably should have ended 4 or 5-0.

Let us know what you thought of the game tonight!
