Leeds United player ratings as Georginio Rutter impresses in unlucky Fulham defeat

Leeds United (4-3-3)

1 Illan Meslier

Nothing he could seemingly do about the two stunning Fulham goals. Not a huge amount left to do. Did come out way off his line and show good anticipation to clear a ball bound for Harry Wilson in space. 6

2 Luke Ayling (c)

Given a very rough ride by Manor Solomon, one of the Premier League's in-form wingers. Opportunities to get forward did not yield too much danger for the Whites. 5

25 Rasmus Kristensen

Generally dealt well with Aleksandar Mitrovic, who it seems he was put into central defence to match up with physically. Some passes out from the back could have been better. 6

5 Robin Koch

Did not put a foot wrong. Mitrovic got nothing out of him. 7

3 Junior Firpo

Continues to deliver steady performances. Just about kept a leash on Wilson. 6

28 Weston McKennie

Enjoyed the freedom this formation gave him to get forward and link up with the front three. Was dispossessed an awful lot, but kept getting himself on the ball and trying to alter the game. 7

12 Tyler Adams

Sold Marc Roca short with the pass which Joao Palhinha pinched before breaking the deadlock. Battled away. 6

8 Marc Roca

Didn't really catch the eye. Passes did not break Fulham open. 6

10 Crysencio Summerville

Lively and always wanted to have a run at Antonee Robinson. Tricky. 6

24 Georginio Rutter

His best display in Leeds colours so far. Unfairly saw his goal ruled out, hit the post and forced other saves from Marek Rodak too. Led the line well and improved in his hold-up play as the match wore on. 8

29 Wilfried Gnonto

The wait goes on for the kind of impact we saw a few weeks back, but opponents are wising up and trying to double up on the Italian teenager where possible. Still delivered some dangerous passes into teammates. 6

Substitutes

22 Joel Robles

7 Brenden Aaronson (on for Roca 73min)

Decent in the second phase of attacks and arriving from deep. Pushed one shot narrowly wide. 6

9 Patrick Bamford (on for Rutter 63min)

Didn't get a sniff of goal. 5

11 Jack Harrison (on for Gnonto 63min)

The usual array of good first touches, decent dribbles and then poor final products around the box. 5

16 Sonny Perkins

18 Darko Gyabi

34 Diogo Monteiro

49 Mateo Joseph
