Leeds United player ratings as champions romp to final-day Charlton Athletic thrashing

Leeds United (3-1-3-3)

1 Illan Meslier - seven

Next to nothing for the French stopper to do. Strong boot denied Chuks Aneke early in the second half, while Alfie Doughty fluffed the Addicks' best chance of the first half with a breakaway.

2 Luke Ayling - seven

Did not put a foot wrong in a very relaxed evening for everyone concerned. One of those who could have had a goal from the first-half shooting gallery.

5 Ben White - eight

How apt the player-of-the-year candidate finds the net with his first goal of the season, and a quality finish at that, in possibly his farewell appearance. Marauded from defence at will too. Another of those effortless evenings.

6 Liam Cooper - seven

As with Ayling, not hugely tested and did not put a foot wrong. Some strong headers when the crosses rained in.

34 Pascal Struijk - seven

Composed with possession and improving with his off-the-ball movement. Acceleration was not always there when attackers were running at him, but another very solid showing.

43 Mateusz Klich - seven

One of those who looked like they especially enjoyed the freedom of the evening. Seemed to try any kind of pass which came to his mind. Not all of them came off, but an accomplished performance.

19 Pablo Hernandez - seven

What more is there to be said, you can picture how much he enjoyed the freedom and space of the evening.

15 Stuart Dallas - eight

Could have had a hat-trick on another evening. Always seems to deliver his finest in the 11th hour of a season. A late push to overcome White's renaissance for the Player of the Year prize.

22 Jack Harrison - six

Not always at the heart of United's best attacks in the first half. Delivery not always there either.

9 Patrick Bamford - six

For a night where the team attacked so freely, the centre forward did not get involved or even look like getting involved.

10 Ezgjan Alioski - six

Lacked composure in the final third when chances came his way.

Substitutes

30 Kamil Miazek

3 Barry Douglas

7 Ian Poveda (on for Alioski 62min) - seven

Lovely assist for Jamie Shackleton. Lively on the counter.

11 Tyler Roberts (on for Bamford h/t) - six

Well-taken header from a corner, which is not the obvious strength you associate with Roberts. Didn't see much else direct action.

40 Leif Davis

44 Matuesz Bogusz (on for Klich 73min) - N/A

46 Jamie Shackleton (on for Hernandez 62min) - seven

You wait two seasons for a goal and two come along at once. Livewire through the centre.

48 Jordan Stevens (on for Harrison 73min) - N/A

49 Oliver Casey
