Norwich v Leeds ratings: Rashica 7, Pukki 6; Raphinha 8, James 7

Leeds clinch 2-1 victory to steer clear of relegation zone

NORWICH RATINGS: Tim Krul, 5 - The Dutchman was rounded by Daniel James all too easily as the Welshman raced onto Stuart Dallas’ slipped pass in behind and he made a right old mess of Rodrigo’s strike from range which squirmed through his hands. Reuters

Ozan Kabak, 4 - Showed positive intent with a driving run down the byline in the opening minutes that won his side a corner and stopped Raphinha in his tracks with a superb challenge, but he was twice caught in possession when overplaying. AFP

Grant Hanley, 6 - The experienced centre-back was in the right place to hack a James effort off the line before spraying a beautiful diagonal ball that dropped perfectly onto the boot of Max Aarons. Couldn’t stop Raphinha as Leeds took the lead. PA

Andrew Omobamidele, 7 - Eased Raphinha off the ball as the Brazilian looked to spin away from the full-back. Went to ground too easily as the latter danced into the box to open the scoring, only to redeem himself as he nodded the hosts level barely a minute later. Reuters

Max Aarons, 6 - Always looked eager to drive into the Leeds box from the right-hand side and plucked Hanley’s ball out of the air with the deftest of touches. Almost crafted a last-ditch leveller, but his in-swinging cross was a little too hot for Placheta to control. Reuters

Kieran Dowell, 5 - Delivered a couple of inviting crosses into the penalty area but Leeds were able to survive. Unable to turn the screw after the break and he was withdrawn for the final 20 minutes following a couple of wasted set pieces. Getty

Mathias Normann, 7 - Got Norwich ticking as he hustled, harried, twisted and turned in a lively performance. Roughed up by the visitors who opted to stop him with brute force but struggled to do so and he fizzed a low effort just wide on the stroke of half-time. PA

Kenny McLean, 6 - Glided past one, then two then three before finally being tugged to the ground by Dallas. Became the third man to see yellow for flying in on Meslier, although the contact appeared minimal. Getty

Milot Rashica, 7 - Had Leeds players scrambling with an inviting ball into an awkward area at the back post which led to a half-chance for Pukki and asked questions of Meslier with a couple of clean strikes from distance. Reuters

Joshua Sargent, 7 - Looked to get the ball in the box at every opportunity as the Canaries played with purpose and later showed excellent strength to twist away from his marker and drive forward, before neatly chopping back inside and picking his pass. Reuters

Teemu Pukki, 6 - Led the press well from the front. Lashed a difficult chance just wide from the edge of the box after good work from Rashica, having hustled well to win the free-kick from Llorente’s challenge moments earlier. Getty

SUBS: Christos Tzolis (on for Dowell, 69’), 6 - Stole possession from Raphinha on halfway and fed Aarons on the right following a rare poor touch from the Brazilian. Getty

Adam Idah (on for Sargent, 77’), N/A - Tasked with rescuing something from the game but he had little opportunity to change the outcome in truth. PA Przemyslaw Placheta (on for Hanley, 88’), N/A - A bright cameo but he couldn’t quite bring Aarons deep cross under his spell at the back post.

LEEDS RATINGS: Illan Meslier, 6 - Just about managed to stay inside his penalty area as he charged out to claim an early ball right on the edge of his box. He was restricted to routine stops aside from Omobamidele’s header which had him well-beaten. Getty

Jamie Shackleton, 6 - The midfielder was forced to fill-in at full-back as a result of Leeds’ injury crisis but he didn’t look out of place as he unleashed Raphinha with a stunning ball down the line. Saw yellow for checking Rashica and hobbled off after picking up a knock. Reuters

Diego Llorente, 6 - Troubled by Pukki in spells and wasted a good opportunity at the opposite end when his powerful header cleared the crossbar, but ultimately stopped the Canaries from singing as Leeds saw out the dying embers of the game with ease. Getty

Liam Cooper, 6 - Invited more Norwich pressure when he twice tripped Pukki on the edge of the box and on another day that could have had disastrous consequences, but managed to escape unscathed. Getty

Stuart Dallas, 6 - Pressed high whenever he sensed the opportunity to do so, which led to a couple of deflected strikes from distance. Halted a burst from Aarons with a well-timed challenge. Reuters

Raphinha, 8 - Frustrating start for the classy winger who was marshalled well by the young Omobamidele, but he warmed to the task as the game progressed though and showed brilliant feet to dance into the box and slot home. Reuters

Pascal Struijk, 7 - Threw himself in front of a powerful max Aarons strike and started the move that led to the winner when he robbed possession from Kabak deep in Norwich territory. Reuters

Kalvin Phillips, 6 - Penalised for a less-than-subtle shove into the back of Normann and later became the fourth Leeds player to see yellow. Teed-up Rodrigo to put Leeds back in front, but was guilty of a few misplaced passes. Getty

Daniel James, 7 - Survived an early scare when an awkwardly bouncing ball struck his raised arm in the penalty area. He caused problems with his pace at the other end and picked out Raphinha smartly to open the scoring. AFP

Rodrigo, 6 - Squandered an opportunity when his touch from Raphinha’s pass was far too heavy and saw yellow just past the half-hour mark for a trip on Normann. Bounced back after a poor first half to blast Leeds back in front with a decent strike that embarrassed Krul. Reuters

Jack Harrison, 5 - A quiet display from the former Manchester City man who went into the book for wiping out Aarons as he looked to turn on the afterburners. Getty

SUBS: Tyler Roberts (on for Rodrigo, 88’), N/A - Buzzed around the Norwich penalty area wasted no time in picking out Raphinha as Leeds hunted the kill, but this time Omobamidele stood his ground well. Getty

Cody Drameh (on for Shackleton, 71’), N/A - A proud moment for the full-back who made his full league debut for Leeds following a knock to Shackleton. Adam Forshaw (on for James, 77’), N/A - Fed Raphinha in space on the right but the midfielder’s driven cross was well held by Krul. PA

Leeds United registered a 2-1 win away at Norwich City, thanks to second-half goals from Raphinha and Rodrigo Moreno, on Sunday.

The result kept Leeds out of the relegation zone and the home side stuck at the bottom of the table after 10 matches.

The match came into life after the break, with Raphinha firing Leeds ahead in the 56th minute as he cut inside two defenders and drove in a low shot.

Norwich levelled two minutes later when defender Andrew Omobamidele, 19, rose above his markers to beat Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier with a header. The home side's joy was short-lived, however, as Rodrigo's swerving low shot squeezed in under home keeper Tim Krul.

Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa was relieved with the result - it was just their second Premier League victory of the season.

"A very important win given our position in the table, due to the results we have been obtaining that are not positive," Bielsa told Sky Sports.

"The job of a coach has some very difficult things you have to live with. Especially with Norwich's manager, he has shown a big spiritual fortitude and I hope he can come back from this situation."
