The Whites were held by Brentford in a 0-0 draw at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon as Thomas Frank’s side left with a point after coming under the cosh for much of the second half. New centre-back pairing Max Wober and Robin Koch worked well, denying Brentford talisman Ivan Toney any clear-cut opportunities during the match, which contributed to the eventual result.
Here are the full-time player ratings from the Whites’ latest draw in the Premier League.

3. Luke Ayling - 8
Took the initiative, bombed forward, gave Leeds some width and got to the byline. An all-action display. (Photo by OLI SCARFF/AFP via Getty Images) Photo: OLI SCARFF
4. Max Wober - 8
Solid, put in some big tackles, made interceptions, took the ball forward when he got the chance. Played like a leader.(Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images) Photo: Gareth Copley
5. Robin Koch - 7
Did pretty well against Toney and then Mbeumo. It wasn't a flawless performance but he battled well. Passing radar a little off in the first half. (Photo by OLI SCARFF/AFP via Getty Images) Photo: OLI SCARFF
6. Pascal Struijk - 6
Linked up on the left without creating much, struggled defensively a couple of times. Tried to be on the front foot. Showed urgency to get forward.
