  • Pascal Struijk: 4 - The defender had a poor evening, struggling to contain Ayew on the left flank. Ayew often beat him for pace, with him picking up a yellow for a petulant kick out on the Palace forward. He was then substituted at half-time. Getty Images

  • Kalvin Phillips: 6 - The England midfielder covered a lot of ground as he usually does in the central areas and dropped into centre-back when required. He tracked Gallagher well, making a big challenge to deny his opposite number from having a run into space. Reuters

  • Adam Forshaw: 7 - The 30-year-old was a creative spark for his side when he could join the attack. In one instance, he played a delicate chipped ball into the box to find Roberts, but the chance led to nothing. Getty Images

  • SUB: Rodrigo (For Klich 46’): 6 - The striker came on as Leeds looked to change the dynamic after struggling in the first-half. He was threatening, but should have scored when played in by James. He opted to round the goalkeeper, putting it wide rather than hitting it first time. PA
