Leeds United 1 Manchester City 1: Graham Smyth's player ratings from Elland Road epic

LEEDS United fought back after an early Manchester City onslaught to claim a 1-1 draw from a Saturday night thriller at Elland Road - but how did we rate the performances?

Raheem Sterling fired Pep Guardiola's side into a 17th-minute lead but record signing Rodrigo's first goal for the Whites drew Marcelo Bielsa's team level to secure a point.

Graham Smyth, the YEP's chief football writer, hands out the scores.
