Leeds United 2 Norwich City 1- player ratings - Yorkshire Post 13/3/22
Leeds United won an incredible game against relegation rivals Norwich City.
By Stuart Rayner
Both sides hit the crossbar - Leeds twice, Norwich had a
penalty awarded then overturned after a VAR intervention and each side scored
in stoppage time.
Illan Meslier – a crucial save right at the end as well as
setting up the winner 8
Diego Llorente – enjoyed a game of that nature 7
Pascal Struijk – a solid performance 7
Stuart Dallas – looked comfortable at left-back 6
Mateusz Klich – put in the hard graft in midfield before
moving up a line into the hole 6
Adam Forshaw – his tenacity midfield was a big part of the
game 7
Dan James – all energy without the end product 7
Rodrigo – not always perfect in his tackling but his sheer
hunger to make them set the tone for Leeds - and he showed quality on the ball
too 8
Raphinha – good at many things except his finishing, it was
just not looking like his day after he twice hit the crossbar but he refused to
accept it, setting up Joe Gelhardt's winner 7
Patrick Bamford – just his presence helped Leeds and he
helped created some good opportunities but missed two chances shortly before
his half-time substitution he should not have 6
Substitutes:
Jack Harrison (for Bamford, 46) – got drawn into a running
battle with Max Aarons which could have got him a red card 6
Robin Koch (for Rodrigo, 60) – did his job when he came on 5
Joe Gelhardt (for Klich, 90) – huge impact 8
Not used: Klaesson, Bate, Cresswell, Summerville, Greenwood,
Shackleton.
