Rodrigo, Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford got the goals in front of around 8,000 fans inside Elland Road for the first time since March 2020.

Could do little about the goal, made a few smart stops.

1. Kiko Casilla - 8

Defended well, added to the attack when he moved to right-back and could get forward. Produced his trademark 'flop' at a good time.

2. Luke Ayling - 8

Looked determined to finish the season well. Bombed forward, worked hard, linked up well in attack, a few errant passes aside.

3. Gjanni Alioski - 8

Tried to keep it simple but played a couple of nice passes, defended well. The ovation he got when he went off was hard earned. A wholehearted club servant.

Defended aggressively, won aerial duels, passed it well. Started the game with a yellow card but played sensibly for the remainder.

Clearly relished his physical battle with Conor Gallagher and won it. Scored a free-kick. Ended with a couple of mad moments, giving the ball away for the goal and hurting himself in a tackle.
