Leeds United 1 West Ham United 2: Graham Smyth's player ratings as familiar problems haunt Whites

LEEDS United fell to a sixth defeat of the Premier League season via Friday night's 2-1 reverse at home to West Ham United - but how did we rate the performances?

United took an early lead through Mateusz Klich's second attempt at a penalty after a retake but Leeds conceded two goals from set pieces via headers from Tomas Soucek and Angelo Ogbonna as the Hammers moved up to fifth.

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