Leeds recorded back-to-back home league wins ahead of the October international break with victory against Nigel Pearson’s Robins on a sunny, Saturday afternoon at Elland Road.
Goals from Dan James and Joel Piroe came either side a Kal Naismith equaliser, but Leeds were good value for all three points and weathered late pressure from the away side to hang onto a valuable result.
The team have moved one place up to fifth in the Championship table.
7. Glen Kamara - 8/10
Put in a serious amount of work and used the ball well. Some nice work in the final third to contribute to attacks. Let down a little by marking for the goal. (Pic: Jonathan Gawthorpe) Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
8. Dan James - 8/10
Ran himself into the ground, provided a handful of really dangerous crosses and his pace caused problems. (Pic: Bruce Rollinson) Photo: Bruce Rollinson
9. Crysencio Summerville - 8/10
His pace was a serious issue for Bristol City throughout. Some lovely footwork and eye-catching football. Unlucky not to score. Selfish once or twice. (Pic: Bruce Rollinson) Photo: Bruce Rollinson
10. Joel Piroe - 7/10
Took his goal expertly. Some of his link-up play was excellent, some lacked accuracy. Gave away a few needless fouls. (Pic: Bruce Rollinson) Photo: Bruce Rollinson
11. Georginio Rutter - 9/10
The miss was a shocker but the overall performance was incredible. Defended, won the ball, held it up, beat players, created chances, passed it well and kept going. (Pic: Bruce Rollinson) Photo: Bruce Rollinson
12. Patrick Bamford - 6/10
A little indecisive or hesitant when chances to kill it came. Kept his markers busy and caused some havoc. (Pic: Bruce Rollinson) Photo: Bruce Rollinson
