Leeds United player ratings as Wilfried Gnonto carries the threat in frustrating West Ham draw

Leeds United (4-3-3)

1 Illan Meslier

Not much he could do about the West Ham United goals, but his distribution left a lot to be desired all evening. 5

2 Luke Ayling

Gave the ball away far too frequently in the infancy of attacking moves. Happy to bomb forward, but rarely had the desired quality in the final third. 4

5 Robin Koch

Dithered on the ball too often. Gianluca Scamacca didn't see a lot of joy out of him, generally. 5

6 Liam Cooper (c)

Some loose tackles and gave Scamacca too much space at points, but generally solid. 5

21 Pascal Struijk

Poor night for the full-back. Gave away the penalty with a clumsy challenge that summed up a dire period in the game for the team. Looked shaky with Jarrod Bowen all evening. Made some odd passing decisions if he wasn't repeatedly going backwards to safety. 4

8 Marc Roca

Still waiting for the re-emergence of the deep-lying playmaker Leeds need in the middle. Passes continue to frustrate. Lacking pace at crucial moments too. 5

12 Tyler Adams

Tried to lead from the front in the more difficult moments. Still popping up in the right areas and getting a foot in. 6

10 Crysencio Summerville

Generally decent and an exquisite assist without being scintillating or a permanent thorn in West Ham's side. 6

7 Brenden Aaronson

A poor night for the American on the back of a run of form which is slowly looking concerning. Dribbles came to nothing, passes were off the mark and lacking threat. That was all before the loose ball which gifted West Ham their second. 4

19 Rodrigo

A quiet and underwhelming first half gave way to a far more dangerous role after the break. Took his goal really well and then kept asking questions in behind the away defence. 6

29 Wilfried Gnonto

Finally gets the goal he has deserved after weeks of impressive showings. A sublime finish too. Continued to carry the threat all evening for Leeds. At the forefront of every scrap. Loves a battle. 8

25 Rasmus Kristensen

30 Joe Gelhardt (on for Gnonto 90+1min)

Very late switch. N/A
