YEP chief football writer Graham Smyth offers his verdict on the Leeds United players’ performances at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday, January 19.
The Whites ensured it was derby day delight for the home supporters at Elland Road as Leeds returned to the top of the Championship with a professional victory over Danny Rohl’s Wednesday.
It finished 3-0 with goals from Manor Solomon, Largie Ramazani and Ao Tanaka on the day. Here are the ratings.
Flapped at a first half cross, even if it was handled en route to him, but made a good stop from Gassama. Little else to do.
1. Illan Meslier: 6/10

2. Jayden Bogle: 8/10
Brought a lot to the game going up and down his flank. Was physical when he needed to be. Drove the Whites forward down the right. | Getty Images
3. Joe Rodon: 7/10
A couple of lovely passes down the right, some solid defending. Windass got in behind him once in the first half. | Getty Images
4. Ethan Ampadu: 7/10
It wasn’t perfect as he resumed his partnership with Rodon – gave it away once or twice – but he made some big interventions, tackles and headers. |
5. Sam Byram: 7/10
Won tackles and headers. Going forward it was a mixed bag. Involved in a couple of nice moves. | Danny Lawson/PA Wire
6. Ao Tanaka: 8/10
Made a big block to prevent a first half goal, quietly effective in the first half. A little wobbly at the start of the second but came on strong and finished with a flourish, scoring a deft flick.

Dribbled the ball well to go past players when it was on, passed it well for the most part.

8. Brenden Aaronson: 7/10
So close to an eight but dallied on the ball a couple of times too many. Showed he can look after possession well, linked up and made clever runs. Lots of energy.
9. Dan James: 8/10
Produced some great crosses, tested Beadle with three efforts. Got at his markers, kept them guessing with his variety.
10. Manor Solomon: 8/10
In the right place to score his goal, which was well taken and composed. Gave the Owls some issues when he ran with it and made some nice passes. Tracked back.
11. Joel Piroe: 6/10
Linked up with the midfield nicely on occasions. Chances were few and far between. Saw one shot from a great position deflected over. | Danny Lawson/PA Wire
12. Ilia Gruev (sub): 7/10
Added energy and bite. Kept things calm in possession. | Danny Lawson/PA Wire

Took his goal really well and almost had another but Tanaka wanted to make sure with his flick.
