Bailey Peacock-Farrell - Stole the show with a save he would have been proud of in any circumstances. What a way to respond to doubts about him. 8/10placeholder image

Kalvin Phillips - Is starting to look like the oldest head in the team. A more advanced position might have helped Leeds but his passing was good anyway and he was spot on at the back. 8/10placeholder image

Barry Douglas - Not his best night, and a surprise to see him take the man-of-the-match award. Gave away the penalty but laid on the goal too. 6/10 --- Stuart Dallas - Has drawn as little praise as Peacock-Farrell this season but always works, always sticks in and scored for the first time in 14 months. 7/10placeholder image
