The numbers behind Aaronson's Player of the Match display against West Ham | OneFootball

Leeds United’s Brenden Aaronson was voted the Hisense Player of the Match after an inspired all-action performance in Friday night’s 2-1 win over West Ham United.

The American forward capped a tireless display with a goal and a dynamic contribution across the pitch, earning 62% of the fan vote ahead of Joe Rodon (26%), Jaka Bijol (2%) and Ethan Ampadu (2%).

Aaronson, who played 87 minutes, was at the heart of Leeds’ attacking play, recording three total shots, two chances created, and three successful dribbles from three attempts. His precise finish — worth 0.57 expected goals (xG) — set the tone for a dominant team performance at Elland Road.

Beyond his attacking output, Aaronson’s work rate without the ball was equally impressive. He registered nine defensive contributions, including three tackles, two interceptions, and four recoveries, while also winning eight ground duels.

Despite making just 11 passes and having 38 touches, Aaronson’s efficiency and intensity stood out. He also delivered two crosses and finished with an FPL haul of 11 points, rewarding both Leeds fans and Fantasy managers alike.
