Robin Koch produces another eye-catching display as Leeds United supporters give Villa verdict

Leeds United's Premier League campaign continued on Sunday afternoon in a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa and Whites fans have had their say about each player's performance.

Without manager Jesse Marsch on the touchline, Leeds looked like the better side in the first half but immediately went down to ten men after the break when Luis Sinisterra was given a second yellow card for blocking a Villa free kick.

They were able to hold on for a point but not before giving away 23 fouls in a performance that'll give them confidence for this weekend's fixture against Crystal Palace.

Impressive Koch performance leads the line

Defender Robin Koch got the highest rating from LeedsLive readers, who gave the German a 6.8 out of 10. Koch is just one of four players that has played all 630 minutes of the Whites' league games and he showed why Marsch has so much faith in him.

As well as being one of the standout players this season, Koch was the standout player on the night - important tackles and great defensive positioning when he was needed meant the 26-year-old was given the best rating by readers.

New midfielders further prove their worth

Tyler Adams and Marc Roca were two on the highest rated players as well by readers, being given a 6.6 and a 6.4 rating respectively. The summer arrival pair have repeatedly locked down the midfield in strong performances this season and were no different in helping their side hold on for a point.

If Leeds hadn't been down to 10 men almost immediately after the break, it's entirely possible they help push forward and secure all three points and push further up the table.

Here are the LeedsLive readers' player ratings in full:

Robin Koch - 6.8

Tyler Adams - 6.6

Liam Cooper - 6.5

Marc Roca - 6.4

Pascal Struijk - 6.3

Patrick Bamford - 6.1

Rasmus Kristensen - 6.1

Illan Meslier - 6.1

Brenden Aaronson - 5.9

Luke Ayling - 5.8

Rodrigo - 5.8

Mateusz Klich - 5.7

Junior Firpo - 5.3

Crysencio Summerville - 5.2

Jack Harrison - 5.2

Luis Sinisterra - 5.0
