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.
13. Mateo Joseph (sub) - 6/10
Gave Leeds more of a threat, occupied centre-backs and linked up tidily. Got in dangerous areas but should have scored. Wasted a sitter. | Bruce Rollinson
14. Dan James (sub) - 8/10
Made a superb impact. Not just pace but quality on the ball. Provided a couple of excellent crosses. Came close to a goal himself. | Getty Images

16. Referee: Anthony Backhouse - 6/10
