Leeds United ratings v Brentford: Calvert-Lewin eight as struggling duo only four out of 10 | OneFootball

Leeds United drew 1-1 with Brentford at Elland Road on Sunday, ending both teams’ 100% starts to the season.

Brentford controlled much of the first half, Joe Rodon appearing to suffer a hamstring problem before Kevin Schade struck. Dominic Calvert-Lewin later tapped in the equaliser. Leedsunited.news rated the Leeds performances as follows.

James Trafford 7, Joe Rodon 6, Jaka Bijol 4, Tarik Muharemovic 7, Jayden Bogle 7, Ethan Ampadu 6, Anton Stach 6, James Justin 5, Noah Okafor 5, Brenden Aaronson 4, Dominic Calvert-Lewin 8.

Subs: Nico Elvedi 7 replaced Rodon on 34, Harry Wilson 7 and Ao Tanaka 7 came on at 46, Dan James 6 and Lukas Nmecha 7 entered on 68.

Bogle won a match-high eight duels before making way, while Trafford’s passing kept Leeds in it. Muharemovic was assured in possession and was the only centre-back to finish the match.

Wilson and Tanaka injected control after the break, with Nmecha’s deft touch releasing Dan James for a clear opening. Okafor showed flashes but looked rusty, and Aaronson found this one less suited to his strengths.
