The Whites scored twice without reply in South Yorkshire as Daniel Farke and his men picked up their first three points of the 2024/25 campaign.
Goals from Brenden Aaronson and Dan James clinched the victory in Leeds’ first Yorkshire derby of the season, both originating from swift counter-attacking moves.
Here are the player ratings from tonight’s 2-0 triumph.
7. Ilia Gruev: 7/10
Annoyed Wednesday, buzzed around getting stuck in and he was tidy in possession. Not always able to be progressive but made good decisions. | Getty Images
8. Dan James: 8/10
Excellent. Some good crosses, lots of tracking back and a lovely little flick to progress the attack for the opener. Got himself a goal to ice the cake. | Getty Images
9. Brenden Aaronson: 7/10
Did not Fare well at all in 50:50s against a big side, but on the ball he was really tidy. Some lovely link-up stuff. Took his goal well too. | Danny Lawson/PA Wire
10. Willy Gnonto: 8/10
Popped up in deep areas and central positions to take the game to Wednesday. Involved in some lovely moves. Kept his head after a yellow and some frustration with the ref. | Danny Lawson/PA Wire
11. Mateo Joseph: 8/10
Played some nice stuff, even in the face of a huge size disadvantage compared with his markers. Assist for James was incredible. Could have scored too. | Getty Images
12. Joel Piroe: N/A
Very few touches of the ball and certainly nothing in the way of a chance in order to make a real impact. | Getty Images
