Leeds United player ratings as Bamford and Hernandez seal stunning comeback win over Millwall

Leeds United (4-4-1-1)

13 Kiko Casilla - six

Beaten easily and early in the match, but the Millwall threat failed to amount to much as the match went on with their defensive plan to stick men behind the ball and sit on their two-goal lead.

2 Luke Ayling - seven

Always interested in getting forward down the right flank and played his part in the second-half resurgence, assisting the third goal. Battled well in defence too, keeping Jon Dadi Bodvarsson quiet.

5 Ben White - six

Steady, quiet game in defence and then stepped into the Kalvin Phillips role for the final quarter.

6 Liam Cooper © - six

Played his part in a fair share of the first half's errors. Recovered just about in the second period.

10 Ezgjan Alioski - seven

So impressive coming down the flank in the second half. Always provided that overload and extra man at the far post. Delivered several decent crosses too.

17 Helder Costa - six

Once United were in front he came out of his shell and we saw more quality from him, but when the backs were against the wall his end product failed too often. All the pace and frills, but no killer touch at times.

43 Mateusz Klich - seven

The Pole's energy drove on the fightback and he won his midfield battles with brute force at times. Took the match by the scruff of the neck. Should have made it four inside the last 10 minutes with a gilt-edged chance.

15 Stuart Dallas - seven

Some of the best we have seen from the Northern Irishman in the middle of the park. Claimed the hosts' two best chances of the first half with a couple of excellent tries. Matches the energy and fitness of Klich.

22 Jack Harrison - six

Improved in the second half, but did not see enough from him in the first half, much like Costa.

19 Pablo Hernandez - seven

One of the most vocal with their outrage towards the referee. Lacked spark in the first half, but really got clicking in the second, delivering a gorgeous dipping effort for the second goal.

9 Patrick Bamford - seven

Stalked the six-yard box in the first period with no reward, but the service improved no end in the second, finishing two from close range with aplomb. May have had more than a hat-trick on another night.
