Leeds United player ratings as Junior Firpo and Weston McKennie struggle in one-way Man City loss

Leeds United (4-1-2-3)

22 Joel Robles

Saved what he could with one memorably good early boot to deny Erling Haaland. Fairly helpless as Ilkay Gundogan twice picked his spot from 18 yards out. 6

2 Luke Ayling

Stepped up decently. Not caught out as frequently as some of the others. Phil Foden did not get a lot of joy down his flank. 6

25 Rasmus Kristensen

Looked flaky at times with his clearances, but deserves credit for mixing it with Haaland and getting one good foot in to deny the Norwegian. 5

39 Max Wober

Some good blocks on the line and read a lot of the danger which came his way at close quarters. 6

3 Junior Firpo

If there's one thing the armchair fan will tell you, it's always show Riyad Mahrez to the byline. Firpo was careless in letting the Algerian past him on the inside not once, but twice with both occasions leading to goals. Poor judgement. 4

4 Adam Forshaw

Put his foot in and showed a decent head with the ball at his feet. 6

28 Weston McKennie

Who knew the American had a long throw? Looked a half-decent weapon, but again, when asked to take on a defensive duty, he struggled. Gundogan should not have been given the space he had for the two goals. 4

8 Marc Roca

Painful lapses in concentration. Poor use of the ball. 5

29 Wilfried Gnonto

Virtually anonymous in the game. 4

9 Patrick Bamford

Put himself about as best he could with next to no support around him. Looked a bigger threat in the second half as Manchester City switched off a touch. 5

11 Jack Harrison

More involved than Gnonto, but could not find the miracle touch Leeds needed on the break. 5

Substitutes

1 Illan Meslier

5 Robin Koch

7 Brenden Aaronson (on for Bamford 80min)

Late change to save legs. N/A

10 Crysencio Summerville (on for Harrison 65min)

Non-existent. 4

19 Rodrigo (on for Gnonto 58min)

Some half-looks at the ball in the City half. Great composure with his finish. 6

21 Pascal Struijk (on for Forshaw 80min)

Late change to save legs. N/A

24 Georginio Rutter

42 Sam Greenwood (on for Roca 58min)

Some poor use of the ball when it did fall his way. 5

63 Archie Gray
