9/10 performance rating, what a SENSATION”- 9/10 gem superb Leeds player ratings v Sheffield United
Leeds United Extend Lead with 3-1 Comeback Win Over Sheffield United
Leeds United moved five points clear at the top of the Championship with a 3-1 victory over Sheffield United on Monday.
Despite falling behind at Bramall Lane, Daniel Farke’s side produced an impressive second-half comeback to claim all three points.
Goals from Junior Firpo, Ao Tanaka, and a stunning strike from Joel Piroe overturned an Illan Meslier own goal, bringing the Whites closer to securing promotion.
Here’s how MOT Leeds News rated the players:
Player Ratings
Illan Meslier – 3
The Leeds goalkeeper endured a tough night, conceding an own goal and looking unconvincing throughout. Although he improved as the game progressed, it was an overall poor display.
Jayden Bogle – 5 (subbed off for Byram, 90’)
Returning to his former club, Bogle struggled both defensively and going forward, failing to make an impact.
Joe Rodon – 6
A strong showing from the Welsh defender, who was key in Leeds’ build-up play and solid in aerial and ground duels.
Pascal Struijk – 6
Impressive in possession, creating three chances, and delivered a dominant defensive performance when Sheffield United pressed for a second goal.
Firpo Shines in Leeds’ Comeback
Junior Firpo – 9
A standout performer, excelling defensively and capping off his night with a well-timed header from Dan James’ cross.
Ilia Gruev – 4 (subbed off for Rothwell, 58’)
A disappointing outing for the Bulgarian midfielder, who was substituted before the hour mark after a lackluster display.
Ao Tanaka – 8
Instrumental in Leeds’ attacking transitions and disciplined defensively, the Japanese midfielder played a crucial role and netted the late winner.
Dan James – 7
A constant attacking threat, his persistence paid off with an assist for Firpo’s goal. He also tracked back effectively, winning most of his duels.
Aaronson Struggles in Leeds Win
Brenden Aaronson – 4 (subbed off for Joseph, 58’)
The American midfielder failed to influence the game creatively and contributed little defensively, leading to his early substitution.
Manor Solomon – 5 (subbed off for Gnonto, 83’)
Lively on the wing but unable to add to his goal or assist tally.
Joel Piroe – 7
Largely quiet throughout the game, with minimal touches in the opposition box, but made his mark in the 84th minute with a stunning strike to seal the victory.
Substitutes
- Mateo Joseph – 5 (on for Aaronson, 58’)
- Joe Rothwell – 5 (on for Gruev, 58’)
- Wilfried Gnonto – 6 (on for Solomon, 83’)
- Sam Byram – N/A (on for Bogle, 90’)
