Who were Leeds United's best players in 0-0 draw with Brentford? Post-match ratings

Leeds United had the better of their game with Brentford at Elland Road on Sunday.

But in a match of very few clear-cut chances, neither side were able to break the deadlock – hence two defenders coming out on top in our post-match ratings.

Illan Meslier – very little for him to do 6

Luke Ayling – challenged by left wing-back Rico Henry's provocatively high position, but did a good job 7

Robin Koch – seemed to take confidence from Max Wober's performance to his left. Makes the booking which will put him out of the Premier League trip to Nottingham Forest even more galling 8

Max Wober – got the crowd on his side with a couple of early slide tackles and was combative whilst reading the game well throughout 8

Pascal Struijk – as Willy Gnonto moved inside more, Leeds could have done with more thrust from left-back – not what Struijk is really in the side for 6

Tyler Adams – so reliable in the centre of midfield 7

Marc Roca – struggling to catch the eye at present 6

Brenden Aaronson – just looks very low on confidence 6

Jack Harrison – at times the left-hand side was a bit cluttered as Harrison tended to drift that way from the hole of a 4-2-3-1 6

Wilfried Gnonto – always a threat, particularly running down the middle in the second half, but it never quite came to pass 7

Rodrigo – bright throughout but unable to find a breakthrough. Unlucky to be sacrificed over others in the search 7

Substitutes:

Luis Sinisterra (for Aaronson, 70) – gave Leeds much-needed width on the right but unable to have an impact as he feels his way back after injury 4

Patrick Bamford (for Rodrigo, 79) – bright, but unable to make a difference 5

Sam Greenwood (for Roca, 88) – N/A

Not used: Robles, Firpo, Llorente, Kristensen, Rutter, Gelhardt.
