Elland road has witnessed a good story this season with Leeds gunning to finish in the play-off spot region. Preston were the latest visitors and at the end of the day, Leeds United finished five ahead of Fulham in the table by swiping away Preston 3-0. A scrappy first goal from Kemar Roofe and two breakaway goals from Pablo Hernandez and Souleymane Doukara sealed the deal for The Peacocks.
The Best & Worst Leeds United Players Rated From Their Win Vs Preston
1) GK: Rob Green – 6/10
A clean sheet is a bonus, tidy on the night but the clean-sheet is more because of the horrible finishing of Preston’s rather than his individual play.
2) RB: Luke Ayling – 7/10
Combined well with Roofe from the right and he burst forward like his usual self.
3) CB: Kyle Bartley – 7/10
Preston missed a huge chance early on but Bartley grew as the game progressed and stood up to perform solidly.
4) CB: Pontus Jansson – 6.5/10
Showed signs of his good old displays and gave his best. A good performance yesterday.
5) LB: Gaetano Berardi – 7.5/10
Absolutely superb today with everything and there is no way Charlie Taylor will have it easy displacing him. Top performance.
6) CM: Ronaldo Vieira – 6.5/10
Kept McGeady at bay and was solid whenever needed.
7) CM: Kalvin Phillips – 8/10
Box to box performance, tidy on both sides and got an assist for Doukara’s goal as well. Very convincing.
8) RW: Kemar Roofe – 9/10
He looked intent yesterday, showed a desire for creativity and interplay was brilliant. Got a scrappy goal but a treat to watch.
9) CAM: Pablo Hernandez – 8/10
Operated well when given space and broke away to finish off well.
10) LW: Alfonso Pedraza – 6.5/10
Troubled Preston and caused havoc time and again until the last minutes.
11) ST: Chris Wood – 7/10
Rattled the crossbar, had a goal disallowed but notched an assist. Who cares when the team is winning.
