Rotherham United 2 Leeds United 1: YEP player ratings
Marco Silvestri
Warnock had clearly told Rotherham to crowd him in the box at every opportunity but no-one could have planned for the chaos that led to his red card. 5/10
Gaetano Berardi
What is it about Rotherham? Came away with more blood spilt and as is often the case with Berardi, didn’t have the worst of games. 6/10
Giuseppe Bellusci

Hide AdA nightmare. He and Bamba were nowhere for the first goal and his attempt to clear with an overhead kick before the penalty was a bad error. 3/10
Sol Bamba
It was surprising to say the least that Cooper did not come back into the team. Bamba was solid in the main but not when it mattered. 4/10
Charlie Taylor
Unlucky to take a ball to the midriff before the opener and couldn’t recover to stop Frecklington scoring but isn’t in top form. 5/10
Toumani Diagouraga
Leeds had masses of possession but were unable to do anywhere near enough with it. Diagouraga didn’t shine. 5/10

Hide AdTried his best to get at Rotherham’s midfield and did his fair share of ball-winning but that area of the pitch was laboured. 5/10
Lewis Cook
Seemed to be having as good a game as any other Leeds player so his substitution was a strange one. The away end didn’t like it. 6/10
Needs to draw a big line under this season. It never started for him - not properly - and it doesn’t look like coming to life before May 7. 4/10
Mirco Antenucci
Denied by a terrific save from Darlow at 1-0 and when he got himself into the game, his influence made a difference. 6/10
Chris Wood

Hide AdHasn’t started in a long time and didn’t look anywhere near sharp. Antenucci was more of a handful. 5/10
Substitutes:
Mustapha Carayol (for Mowatt, 58) - Injected a bit of urgency into the side with some good work down the left. 6/10
Stuart Dallas (for Cook, 58) - Leeds carried a much bigger threat with two proper wingers on the pitch, albeit against 10 men. 5/10
Luke Murphy (for Berardi, 74) - It took a large deflection for Leeds to find the net but credit to Murphy. He came on and made a difference, before the late drama. 6/10
