Leeds United extended their unbeaten run to six games with victory against Watford at Elland Road on Tuesday night. Goals from Largie Ramazani and Brenden Aaronson inside the opening seven minutes proved enough to secure all three points, despite a second half resurgence from the visitors, which began with a Kwadwo Baah strike shortly after half-time. Daniel Farke’s side move joint top of the Championship table, for a day at least, before Burnley and Sunderland play, keeping the pressure on their fellow early season pace-setters.
Here are the ratings.
7. Joe Rothwell - 6/10
Couldn't match his performance level from the previous outing. Some nice moments in possession and a few dangerous deliveries. | Getty Images
8. Brenden Aaronson - 6/10
Other than the goal, which he couldn't really miss, composure was lacking. Work-rate was there, but struggled physically at times against bigger men. | Getty Images
9. Largie Ramazani - 7/10
He only played 13 minutes but in that time he gave Leeds the lead, albeit in fortuitous circumstances, and had Sissoko on toast. | Bruce Rollinson
10. Willy Gnonto - 6/10
Looked most dangerous in that opening spell when Leeds were so dominant but faded and then struggled to link up with Bogle or make anything happen. | Bruce Rollinson
11. Joel Piroe - 5/10
Struggled to make an impact and was wasteful when the ball did come his way in the area. | Bruce Rollinson
12. Manor Solomon (sub) - 6/10
A couple of moments of danger but it was an awkward performance at times. Not quite on the same page as some team-mates. Gave it away a few times. | Danny Lawson/PA Wire
