Leeds United 1 Huddersfield Town 4: YEP player ratings
Marco Silvestri
Credit to him for a penalty save which was quite superb but the other aspects of his game, especially his distribution, failed him. 5/10
Gaetano Berardi
Caught out when Huddersfield broke to score their third but really, he was as strong and committed as any other Leeds player. 6/10

Hide AdThe day started badly with the concession of a penalty and did not get much better. Like the team, his recent composure evaporated. 3/10
Giuseppe Bellusci
United’s defence lost its equilibrium in the second half and Huddersfield could have left Elland Road with more than four goals. 4/10
Charlie Taylor
Convincing in the first half but couldn’t get into the second and the disarray among Evans’ players got to him eventually. 5/10
Stuart Dallas
Slightly Byram-esque with his hanging, far-post header for the opener and did fine for the best part of an hour, before Leeds blew up. 6/10
Luke Murphy

Hide AdA big decision by Evans to leave out Diagouraga and it didn’t pay off. Leeds were good in spells but allowed Town to get on top. 5/10
Liam Bridcutt
A very influential figure for as long as Leeds were in front but needed to stamp his authority on the game when United strayed into choppy waters. 5/10
Alex Mowatt
Once again, too far from the action and unable to make a serious impact. Town had more pace and direction going forward. 4/10
Souleymane Doukara
Hard to fault his effort but his attempts to forge something in and around Huddersfield’s box came to nothing too often. 5/10
Mirco Antenucci

Hide AdHas made a habit of producing goals from very little recently but Leeds asked too much of him on a day when creativity was lacking. 5/10.
Substitutes:
Lewis Cook (for Murphy, 65,) - Exactly the sort of situation where you want Cook to shine. Town scored three times within 12 minutes of him coming on. 4/10
Chris Wood (for Dallas, 74) - Evans must wish with hindsight that he had looked to his bench earlier. Wood was never going to turn the match around at 3-1 down. 5/10
Mustapha Carayol (for Doukara, 79) - Like Wood, the best Carayol could hope to do was to pinch a consolation goal. 5/10
