Leeds United welcomed Brentford at Elland Road earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a positive result at home in the Premier League. The Whites made a bright start to the game but were held to a scoreless draw at the half-time break.
The West Yorkshire club failed to score in the second 45 minutes and had to settle for a lackluster 0-0 draw in front of their home fans.
Let’s take a look at how each Leeds United player fared during the clash against Brentford.
GK: Karl Darlow – 7/10
He made a couple of solid saves at the back. However, Darlow did not do enough to keep a clean sheet.
CB: Joe Rodon – 7/10
Rodon cleared the danger when he could and won his fair share of aerial duels inside his half.
CB: Jaka Bijol – 8.5/10
He was a rock at the back and didn’t put a foot wrong on the defensive end of the field. Bijol deserves to be named the man of the match.
CB: Pascal Struijk – 7.5/10
Struijk gave a good account of himself defensively and was a strong presence in the air.
RM: James Justin – 7/10
He came back to defend when needed and made a few key chances in the final third.
CM: Ethan Ampadu – 7.5/10
Ampadu anchored the midfield well but offered very little going forward.
CM: Anton Stach – 7/10
He was a positive influence at both ends of the field. Stach did well to engineer some meaningful openings for others around him.
LM: Jayden Bogle – 7/10
Bogle was solid defensively and made some promising runs with the ball.
CAM: Brenden Aaronson – 6.5/10
He caught the eye at times, but there was no goal for him.
ST: Dominic Calvert-Lewin – 6.5/10
Calvert-Lewin was a real handful for the opposition defenders but failed to find the back of the net.
ST: Lukas Nmecha – 6.5/10
He caused some problems for his marker, but there was no goal for him.
Substitutes:
CM: Ao Tanaka – 6/10
His impact on the game was minimal.
ST: Noah Okafor – 6/10
He didn’t shy away from having a strike at goal after coming off the bench.
RW: Daniel James – N/A
