Stuart Dallas Leeds United's shining light against Burnley in fans' player ratings

Stuart Dallas was the star of the show in the win over Burnley, according to Leeds United fans.

Leeds United moved eight points clear of the relegation zone with a 3-1 win over 18th place Burnley.

The Whites took the lead in the first half thanks to Jack Harrison’s first goal of the season but were pegged back nine minutes into the second period courtesy of Maxwel Cornet’s free kick.

Leeds refused to let that setback affect them, though, as Stuart Dallas put them back in front on his 250 th appearance before Daniel James sealed the victory in stoppage time.

The win over the Clarets was the first time that Leeds have netted three goals in a single game this season and their impressive performance is reflected in supporters’ player ratings.

Match-winner Dallas was deemed as Leeds’ best player on the day, as he received an average rating of 8.1.

Adam Forshaw was once again impressive in midfield as he was handed a rating of 7.6, while Joe Gelhardt and Junior Firpo both came in at 7.4. The latter put in arguably his best performance in a white shirt since his summer move from Barcelona.

Daniel James, Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Jack Harrison and Diego Llorente all also received a rating of at least seven, suggesting it was a display that was contributed to across the pitch.

Mateusz Klich, Illan Meslier and Raphinha were handed decent ratings too at 6.8, although it could certainly be argued that the former was worthy of higher given his involvement in the last two goals.

Tyler Roberts received the lowest rating from the 13 players involved on Sunday with 5.6, which does seem a little harsh given some of the impressive link up play he was at the heart of in the first half.
