Crystal Palace 4 Leeds United 1: Graham Smyth's player ratings as Eagles soar past Whites in London

LEEDS United fell to their second 4-1 reverse in the space of six days with defeat at Crystal Palace - but how did we rate the performances?

United were not helped by a freakish Helder Costa own goal or a bizarre VAR call that denied a Patrick Bamford strike but Scott Dann, Eberechi Eze and Jordan Ayew were also all on target for Roy Hodgson's Eagles who moved sixth.

Graham Smyth, the YEP's chief football writer, hands out the scores.
