Leeds United player ratings as Hernandez and Berardi sign off in style with 3-1 win

Leeds United (4-1-4-1)

13 Kiko Casilla - six

Predictably had very little to do in goal. One decent reaction stop from a first-half header, but he probably should have held onto it. Beaten in the second half and saved by the post.

28 Gaetano Berardi - seven

Solid in defence on his final Elland Road bow. A few dodgy moments playing out from the back, but did what he had to. Very emotional as he came off.

2 Luke Ayling - seven

Not a huge amount for Ayling to get through. Missed his marauding runs down the right flank in the first half.

6 Liam Cooper - seven

Solid from the captain who gave the armband to Pablo Hernandez for the day. Like Ayling, barely tested.

10 Ezgjan Alioski - seven

Some great stuff going forward from Alioski without finding the final delivery he needs. May have been the third man waving goodbye to Elland Road today.

23 Kalvin Phillips - seven

Little running battle with Conor Gallagher throughout the game. Saw some superb passing.

18 Raphinha - six

Never quite got the level we know he can reach on his day and nobody will be more frustrated with that than him. Nearly caused a scene by arguing with Patrick Bamford over the penalty, but saw sense and rank.

15 Stuart Dallas - six

Ironically, after a stellar season, this was a middling performance from Dallas in front of the crowd. Just didn't quite seem to be at the sharp end of affairs.

19 Pablo Hernandez (c) - eight

Ran the game as we hoped he would. Goal just would not quite come for him. Some superb passing, nutmegs, runs and dribbles. Very emotional when coming off, especially in the stands as the chants continued.

22 Jack Harrison - six

A pair of very quiet displays from the winger after the heroics in Burnley. Peripheral again here.

20 Rodrigo - seven

The most sprightly and energetic we have seen him in months. Spain must be taking a serious look despite his injury issues. Delighted to get his goal in front of the fans.

Substitutes

1 Illan Meslier

7 Ian Poveda

9 Patrick Bamford (on for Rodrigo h/t) - six

Aside from the penalty there wasn't a lot which fell for him.

11 Tyler Roberts (on for Hernandez 70min) - six

Some decent drives forward on the ball, but not quite the magic he would have wanted.

21 Pascal Struijk (on for Berardi 69min) - six

Steady and uneventful. Caps an excellent campaign with so much potential to come.

24 Leif Davis

46 Jamie Shackleton

47 Jack Jenkins

49 Oliver Casey
